| Sumario: | We understand health as a field of dispute in which various actors, the State, medical and pharmaceutical corporations, international organizations, social movements, among others, dispute hegemony. Feminisms and LGBT+ movements have played a key role in Argentina in questioning the Hegemonic Medical Model, mainly, some of its bastions, such as biologicism.
In this paper, based on a bricoleur methodology of various experiences of feminist and LGBT+ movements in Argentina, we reconstruct the contributions of these movements to the field of health and the strategies they have developed to build and reconfigure public policies in accordance with their demands, as well as to redefine the processes of health-illness-care and even what we understand by health and illness. Likewise, based on these contributions and strategies, we present a theoretical-conceptual proposal through which we synthesize the main characteristics of feminist health. |
