I look forward to present and analyze an example of a delivery that happened during my research, first, as a paradigmatic example of dialogue, not always friendly and pacific, among various local medical systems: a Mayan comadrona (the local midwife), a ladino doctor and a foreign nurse-midwife. Second, this delivery illustrates an encounter that brings together ethnic, class, and gender relations influences by power and conflict that has structured the material and symbolic construction of this "young" country.En este artículo examino, de acuerdo con la propuesta teórico analítica de Menéndez (1994), los diferentes itinerarios terapéuticos que siguen las mujeres y las parteras de Antigua, Guatemala, durante la gestación y el parto. Intento describir y analizar un parto que tuvo lugar durante la presente investigación, primero, como un ejemplo paradigmático del diálogo, no siempre amistoso ni pacífico, entre varios sistemas médicos locales: la comadrona (partera lega) maya, el médico ladino y la obstetriz (enfermera obstétrica) extranjera. En segundo lugar, este parto ilustra el entrelazamiento de relaciones étnicas, de clase y de género, todas ellas permeadas por el poder y el conflicto que caracterizan a la sociedad guatemalteca.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2006-04-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/anthropologica/article/view/208610.18800/anthropologica.200601.003Anthropologica; Vol. 24 Núm. 24 (2006); 51-752224-64280254-9212reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/anthropologica/article/view/2086/2018info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/20862020-04-07T02:25:56Z |
