| Sumario: | This article presents some reflections originated in the field work developed for my thesis, in which I investigate about the constructions of the notions of body and health-disease of the participants of a training about medicinal plants, dictated in Sierras Chicas, Córdoba. Based on an ethnographic approach, the trajectories of the participants of the training are approached here, to give an account of how the practices and meanings around the management of the body and health are (re)configured, developing speeches and representations that stress and contradict, but also incorporate and resignify notions linked to biomedical knowledge -or Hegemonic Medical Model-. The focus is then on body experiences, linked to the use and consumption of medicinal plants in the specific pedagogical framework of the training, incorporating the analysis of ways of knowledge transmission and the pedagogical practices developed along the training, from the approach of knowledge linked to medicinal plants and interpretations of the effects of the use and consumption thereof, which are made there. |
