| Abstract | |
This dissertation addresses the care and corporality, focusing on gestation, childbirth, postpartum and childcare from a case study with Mehinako people. Among these people, care forms the person and it has an elementary function in the daily construction of kinship relations, through relations of exchange and affection. The movement of the last ten years of the impulse of indigenous pregnant women towards the hospitals in the cities, has caused brutal transformations in the way these women usually experience childbirth and the first postpartum care. We analyze here the multiple senses attributed to care, especially considering the perspective of indigenous women, in order to understand how these senses are confronted in practice, and what this encounter implies. It is expected to contribute to reflect on corporality and kinship, besides offering subsidies to discuss gender in the Amazon (AU) | |
