Natural bodies and body pedagogies: reflections about healing with medicinal plants and empowered births

Sumario:In this article we put in tension, from a socio-anthropological perspective, particular practices and discourses about female bodies and corporalities, in the contemporary Córdoba, linked to alternative circuits (Carozzi, 1999; Citro and Aschieri, 2015). These are spaces that seek to distance from biomedical knowledge-power, understood as Western, white and hegemonic. Specifically, we focus on respected and humanized births and on the use and consumption of medicinal plants. For this, we return to two ethnographies carried out between 2013 and 2019 in Córdoba: on the one hand, an ethnography that had the purpose of analyzing and understanding the social world of the Humanized childbirth in Córdoba. On the other hand, an ethnography in which were explored practices and representations around the body and health that were built in a formation of medicinal plants, in a town in the Sierras Chicas, Córdoba.
