Life

Eva Schindele studied social and educational sciences in Konstanz and Berlin and did her doctorate on a medical-ethical topic at the University of Bremen .

In the 1970s she got involved in the Berlin district and tenant movement. In her book Mieter stören (1980), she examined the effects of redevelopment and gentrification on a grown social structure ( Berlin-Charlottenburg- Klausener Platz) and documented the protest. From 1980 to 1983 she worked at the International Building Exhibition in Kreuzberg (IBA) and developed concepts for citizen participation within the framework of careful urban renewal .

Since the late 1980s, Schindele has been studying the effects of modern medical technologies on how people see themselves and the world - especially women. In her book Gläserne Gebär-Mütter she discussed the consequences of prenatal diagnostics on pregnant women and on the social climate, in which the plan and feasibility of living processes are increasingly becoming a social ideal. She criticizes gynecology when it standardizes the female body as an instrument of power and defines it as in need of control and improvement. At the same time, medicine in postmodernism is selling itself as an instrument of female self-determination. Many women willingly accept this offer without reflecting on the new addictions, for example in reproductive medicine and the pharmaceutical industry, they are entering into. In the past few years she has dealt with the development of obstetrics into obstetric medicine and the cultural and philosophical implications of this change. In this context, she documented the trial and the sentencing of midwife and doctor Anna Rockel-Loenhoff to almost seven years in prison.

Eva Schindele is married and has two children. She lives in Bremen and Murnau .
