Hélène MALMANCHE
[email protected]
Hélène Malmanche has been a midwife at Les Bluets maternity hospital in Paris since 2011, and she is currently
a PhD student in sociology at EHESS under the co-direction of Irène Théry and Jennifer Merchant. Her work
focuses on the development of a socio-anthropology of childbirth, based on ethnographic fieldwork and
interviews in France, Belgium and North America. By observing pregnancy and childbirth in different cases
(surrogacy, egg donation, female couples using sperm donation, and “ordinary” sexual conception), her work
explores the extent to which childbirth is a socially constructed act. By studying the acts, gestures and words
of the various participants in the child’s birth (parents, donors, and medical professionals), as well as the rites
and representations surrounding pregnancy and birth, she hopes to develop new distinctions, and shed light
on the eminently relational aspect of childbirth.

research at the Center for Research in Immigration, Ethnicity and Citizenship (CRIEC). She is also an associate
member of the Ethics Research Center (CRE), specializing in ethics and health. Her research focuses on internormativity (the overlap between different norms including religious, ethical and legal mores) and analyzes
state law and the actions of its agents from both an internal (e.g. analysis in terms of substantive law) and
external (e.g. socio-legal analysis) perspective. She also works on issues affecting the relationships between
law and religion (e.g. “religious courts”, tattoos as religious symbols), and the rights of natural persons: 1) the
legal status of the frozen embryo and gamete, whether in the context of testamentary law, civil liability (loss
of gametes), the separation of the “parents”, or even health (circulation of gametes) in civil law and common
law; 2) the legal status of the corpse and the question of respect for the wishes expressed by the “future
deceased”; 3) the “free and informed” consent to end-of-life care; 4) the impact of the UN Convention on the
Rights of Disabled Persons on legal protection systems for adults; and 5) the impact of neuroscience on the
concept of law.
