| description |
The article presents preliminary findings from analysis of an online forum on egg donation hosted by one of Argentina’s most well-known maternity websites, Planeta Mamá. It explores prevalent themes and ways of using the forum, showing the emergence of three characteristic female online profiles that are routinely enacted online: the information-leaned, the hopeful, and the doubtful woman. Analysis of these online profiles enables questioning the extent to which information sharing can truly become, in the context of online activity, a form of empowerment; in addition it points to the need of further considering the online forum as space where a specific type of peer pressure takes place. The nature/culture dichotomy is also analysed as part of these repertoires, specifically in its capacity to emphasise the “construed” character of kinship. Through these analyses, the article makes a contribution towards an empirical specification of Rose and Novas’s (2005) notion of “digital bio-citizenship”. |

I28-R145-2179_oai2025-11-17 Ariza, Lucía 2017-09-26 The article presents preliminary findings from analysis of an online forum on egg donation hosted by one of Argentina’s most well-known maternity websites, Planeta Mamá. It explores prevalent themes and ways of using the forum, showing the emergence of three characteristic female online profiles that are routinely enacted online: the information-leaned, the hopeful, and the doubtful woman. Analysis of these online profiles enables questioning the extent to which information sharing can truly become, in the context of online activity, a form of empowerment; in addition it points to the need of further considering the online forum as space where a specific type of peer pressure takes place. The nature/culture dichotomy is also analysed as part of these repertoires, specifically in its capacity to emphasise the “construed” character of kinship. Through these analyses, the article makes a contribution towards an empirical specification of Rose and Novas’s (2005) notion of “digital bio-citizenship”. El artículo presenta resultados preliminares de un análisis de un foro de ovodonación alojado en “Planeta Mamá”, uno de los sitios web argentinos más reconocidos entre los relacionados con la maternidad. Se analizan temas y usos prevalentes en el foro, y se muestra la emergencia de tres perfiles característicos de mujeres: la mujer informada, la mujer esperanzada y la mujer dudosa. El análisis de estos perfiles permite interrogar hasta qué punto el empoderamiento se sigue del intercambio on-line de información, a la vez que orienta a una consideración del foro como un lugar donde se ejercen sutiles presiones hacia la maternidad. También se considera la relevancia de la dicotomía naturaleza/cultura como parte de estos repertorios que enfatizan el carácter “construido” del parentesco. A través de estos análisis se contribuye a una especificación empírica del concepto de “biociudadanía digital”. O artigo apresenta os resultados preliminares de uma análise de um fórum sobre doação de óvulos hospedado em “Planeta Mama”, um dos sítios eletrônicos sobre maternidade mais reconhecidos na Argentina. Realizou-se uma análise dos temas e usos imperantes no fórum, para mostrar a emergência de três perfis característicos de mulheres: a mulher informada, a mulher esperançada e a mulher duvidosa. A análise dos perfis permite questionar até que ponto o empoderamento das mulheres é uma consequência do intercâmbio on-line de informação. Também orienta uma consideração do fórum como um espaço onde se exercem pressões grupais relativas à maternidade. Considera-se, ademais, a relevância da dicotomia natureza/cultura como parte dos repertórios que enfatizam o caráter “construído” do parentesco. Através destes análises, realiza-se uma especificação empírica do conceito de “bio-cidadania digital” de Rose e Novas (2005). application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2179 10.34096/cas.i45.2179 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2179/3443 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 45 (2017) 1850-275X 0327-3776 Infertilidad Foros on-line Perfiles femeninos virtuales Donación de óvulos Argentina Infertilidade Fóruns On-line Perfis Femininos Virtuais Doação de óvulos Argentina Infertility Online Forums Virtual Female Profiles Egg donation Argentina Informed, Hopeful, Hesitant: A virtual ethnography of the participation of women with reproductive difficulties in an Argentine egg donation forum Informada, esperanzada, dudosa: una etnografía virtual de la participación de mujeres con dificultades reproductivas en un foro argentino de ovodonación Informada, esperançada, duvidosa: uma etnografia virtual sobre a participação de mulheres com dificuldades reprodutivas num fórum argentino de doação de óvulos info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cantropo&d=2179_oai |
