| description | In this article we analyze some of the representations of abortion among the dwellers of a low-income neighborhood in Florianópolis by focusing on interviews with women and speeches from prominent female in the community, such as health agents and community leaders. Several methodologies were used in this research. It was observed that the abortive history is characterized by a specific temporality, which includes the participation of other women and in which the abortive traditional processes are combined with the use of misoprostol (Cytotec). The kind of substance and the usage of these different methods indicate significant differences between the process of “testing or forcing the blood out” and the abortion itself. Such differences are also moral. Although in this neighborhood the condemnatory discourses against abortion may prevail (except in situations involving victims of rape), it was also observed, especially when dealing with concrete cases, a more condescending attitude towards women who decide for having an abortion. Such condescendence is summarized in the statement: “I´d rather not judge”. |

Este artigo apresenta algumas representações que circulam em um bairro popular de Florianópolis acerca do aborto, tendo por foco entrevistas e falas de mulheres que gozam de prestígio e autoridade na comunidade; entre elas, agentes de saúde e lideranças comunitárias. A pesquisa recorreu a metodologias diversas e constatou que os itinerários abortivos são marcados por uma temporalidade específica, da qual participam outras mulheres e na qual os procedimentos tradicionais se articulam com o uso recorrente do misoprostol. O tipo de substância e as formas de usar estes métodos indicam diferenças entre o popular “testar ou fazer descer” e o abortar, propriamente dito. Embora neste bairro predomine um discurso contrário ao aborto (à exceção do decorrente de estupro), observou-se também, principalmente à luz de casos concretos, uma postura mais branda em relação às mulheres que decidem suspender uma gravidez em curso, sintetizada na expressão “prefiro não julgar”. 2012-04-04 2022-03-18T18:33:14Z 2022-03-18T18:33:14Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4927 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63124 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4927/4116 Copyright (c) 2012 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 17 n. 32 (2012): Dossiê: Aborto, objeto da pesquisa social 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
