| Sumario: | The present work aims to investigate the obstacles, challenges and potentialities of breastfeeding practice within the framework of a capitalist-patriarchal model rooted in the pedagogy of cruelty. This essay proposes to draw theoretical and methodological ins-piration from the anthropology of the senses and the concept of the body-territory. From these perspectives, we are interested in understanding how the body constitutes both the primary territory of struggle and a place of individual and collective marks and oppres-sions. Within these latter, we will focus on analyzing the three separations that women must confront during the practice of breastfeeding due to patriarchal mediation: with their own body, with their offspring, and with other women. Finally, we will address how the characteristics of breastfeeding, such as gratuity, abundance, and exclusivity, contrast with the logic imposed by liberal economics, positioning this practice as a "capital sin" in this capitalist-patriarchal model, but also as a bastion of resistance for others who wish and believe that other ways of connecting with our bodies and territories are possible, based on respect, shared responsibility and love. |
