Descrição: While claims to paternity have always been doubtful, those of maternity were assumed to be unambigu- ous until advances in reproductive technology made it possible for motherhood to be split along genetic, biological, and social axes. Because the identity of the mother has been revealed to be a social construction instead of a biological cornerstone, Parker concludes that such indeterminacy reveals three problems with employing the mother as a signifier: the distinction of the literal (procreating body) from the figurative (creativity), the relationship of the singular ("my mother") to the general ("the Mother"), and the " border between a theorist's life and writing" (22-25). According to Parker, Lukács understands this character as a figure whose private struggles are representative of larger historical conflicts and Scott as a novelist whose dialectical resolution of those conflicts presaged Marx's interpretation of history.
