Abstract
Description
El artículo relaciona el desarrollo de las especialidades médicas que giran en torno a la mujer,
la reproducción y la sexualidad, con la producción de políticas nacionalistas y eugenésicas en el
Brasil de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Para hacerlo analiza la producción científica en las
áreas de la ginecología, obstetricia y puericultura, presentadas en tesis académicas y periódicos
médicos entre 1900 y 1940. Este material permite ver las diversas vinculaciones entre las necesidades
de aumento de la natalidad, la valorización de la maternidad, y la restricción, a través
de la esterilización y otras prácticas contraceptivas, del nacimiento de individuos considerados
indeseables.
This article shows that medical specialties involving women, reproduction, and sexuality -specialties that gained relevancy in the initial decades of the 20th century- are linked to the production of eugenicist and nationalist politics in Brazil. It analyzes scientific production in the fields of gynecology, obstetrics, and childcare, as presented in academic theses and medical journals between 1900 and 1940. This material both shows how ideas concerning the need to increase the birthrate, expressed most tellingly in the valorization of motherhood, are constructed, and also how the birth of individuals who are considered undesirable was restricted through sterilization and other contraceptive practices.
