El presente texto busca dar cuenta de la elaboración y actualización del ideal de la llamada maternidad científica en la Gota de Leche de Santiago de Chile. Apuntando a la capacidad de esta institución médica y de beneficencia fundada en el año 1901 por el Patronato Nacional de la Infancia, por producir un sujeto mujer-madre, en base a la implementación de ciertas prácticas de atención médica-científica por el equipo de salud. Mediante una investigación etnográfica, distinguiremos algunos aspectos que dan cuenta de la construcción del ideal de la maternidad científica, a partir de los discursos que se desprenden de cartillas de puericultura elaboradas por médicos pediatras de la institución, y los discursos del actual equipo de salud. Planteamos que el ideal de la maternidad científica conlleva al despliegue de un dispositivo desde el discurso médico que pretende ser transformador frente al sufrimiento de las mujeres-madres, pero que invisibiliza las desigualdades estructurales que enfrentan las mujeres en condición de pobreza.

This paper seeks to account for the elaboration and actualization of the ideal of the so-called scientific motherhood in the Gota de Leche in Santiago of Chile. Aiming at the capacity of a medical and charitable institution founded in 1901 by the Patronato Nacional de la Infancia, to produce a woman-mother subject, based on the implementation of practices of medical-scientific care by the health team. From ethnographic research we will distinguish some aspects that show the construction of the ideal of scientific motherhood, based on the discourses that emerge from the childcare booklets elaborated by pediatricians of the institution, and the discourses of the current health team. We propose that the ideal of scientific motherhood, leads to the deployment of a device from the medical discourse that pretends to be transformative with regards to the suffering of women-mothers, but that invisibilize the structural inequalities faced by women living in poverty. |
