Clase y género en las propuestas de la “Humanización” del parto: Un análisis desde la Antropología feminista

Abstract

Nowadays there are different meanings given to the term“humanization” of childbirths, which enter into dialogue and dispute overa political place to be occupied. Some of these meanings are the resultof the historical claims and the struggle of certain women, groups andactivists of the feminist movement over. This process contributed to theconsolidation of the two national laws on childbirths (25,929 and 26,485,Article 6, paragraph “e”). From a feminist perspective, in this article Iwill make a anthropological analysis of the social problematization ofchildbirths, including the class and gender scope of the “humanization”of childbirth as a political act of certain women and groups.
