| description | This paper analyzes the ideas and practices regarding birth control promoted by the field of medicine. Employing a relational and gender perspective, differences are found in approaches to contraceptive methods, abortion, and sterilization in Argentina from 1930 to 1940. In a context of demographic transition and the rise of eugenic ideas, voluntary birth control was a problem for the medical elite. In contrast, marginal positionings spread knowledge about access to sexual pleasure without worrying about reproduction. |

A Relational Analysis of the Field of Medicine, Argentina (1930-1940) Medios y fines del control de la natalidad. Un análisis relacional del campo médico, Argentina (1930-1940) Ledesma Prietto, Nadia This paper analyzes the ideas and practices regarding birth control promoted by the field of medicine. Employing a relational and gender perspective, differences are found in approaches to contraceptive methods, abortion, and sterilization in Argentina from 1930 to 1940. In a context of demographic transition and the rise of eugenic ideas, voluntary birth control was a problem for the medical elite. In contrast, marginal positionings spread knowledge about access to sexual pleasure without worrying about reproduction. En este trabajo analizamos las ideas y prácticas que desde el campo médico se desplegaron en torno al control de la natalidad. Desde una perspectiva relacional y de género, encontramos divergencias en los planteos en torno a los métodos anticonceptivos, el aborto y la esterilización. En el contexto de la transición demográfica y el auge de las ideas eugénicas, el control voluntario de la natalidad fue un problema para la élite médica. En cambio, los posicionamientos marginales difundieron saberes para acceder al placer sexual sin preocuparse por la reproducción. 2020-11-21 2022-03-17T18:48:23Z 2022-03-17T18:48:23Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1290 10.21678/apuntes.88.1290 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53189 spa eng https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1290/1497 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1290/1519 Derechos de autor 2020 Nadia Florencia Ledesma Prietto http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
