Usos y significados de la noción de naturaleza en el modelo de “parto y crianza fisiológica” en la ciudad de Buenos Aires

The aim of this article is to analyze from a sociological perspective how discourses of physiological labor and upbringing conceive the notion of “nature”. Based on an ethnographic research, I suggest that knowledge of physiology has the potential to become a rhetoric of women’s empowerment by generating confidence in their ability to give birth and security in the natural and spontaneous processes of their bodies. The knowledge of physiology also redefines the ways of listening, attending and accompanying the vital processes of their children’s childhood.
