Corpo que pariu: discursos e (re) significações do corpo feminino a partir das experiências de gestar e parir.

Abstract

The research proposed here fits into the field of debate about the historical, cultural, social and political aspects surrounding childbirth. From a feminist perspective, understanding that gender, as a social category, analytical is a device that permeates social relations, such as science, medicine, family, etc. I seek to highlight the discursive elaborations of the female body that mobilize meanings and re-meanings in the processes of gestating and giving birth. More specifically, I try to analyze, ethnographically, with a qualitative approach, how women participating in the normal childbirth support group, RodaGerminar, working in Campina Grande - PB, has sought to symbolically (re) define the discourses about their bodies during pregnancy processes. and I depart from his experiences, or attempts, of humanized obstetric care. The experiences of the interlocutors are placed in the foreground of the investigation through their narratives, reports, actions. The effort printed in this paper is to make readable what the voices of these various women are saying.
