| Abstract | |
This ethnography focuses on female humanized labor practices of the 2000s, from two groups of preparation for childbirth in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In times of record of cesarean sections, a group of women have chosen to give birth the "most natural" way, tied by their feelings and emotions in the name of a "delivery that is all yours." Assuming that labor is not only a medical, physiological, these women have sought escaping from the routines of its acceleration in pursuit of what they consider to be an enrichment of their experience of childbirth. Equipped with this desire, seem to make other conceptions of health, pain and risk, and thus create other political body to stop. Thus, I question the presence of other female subjectivity modes from this universe, which appears to be another woman's body and another mother figure, no longer built on rigid modern meanings, creating thereby conditions for the thematic dialogue between feminists and adept at giving birth differently (AU) | |
