description The article points out the importance of considering cultural and gender aspects in the understanding of mental health, as well as in the conceptions about well-being and illness that people have. From discourse analysis of a group of women from a populated center located in the South of Peru, we analyzed the contents that give these notions from the cultural diversity and gender focus. Through participant observation and in-depth interviews, participants report three models of femininity: "mother-wife", "working woman" and "independent woman-the other". Welfare is presented as a tension between the "mother-wife" and "working-woman" femininities, including social aspects that impact this tension. On the other hand, we examined the main diseases recognized by the population, being the "harm" the most feared and associated with envy women. The discussion focuses on the understanding of "harm" as a metaphor of social imagery and envy as an intra-gender social disease that prevents alliance between women.

A través de observación participante y entrevistas a profundidad, las participantes dan cuenta de tres modelos de femineidad: “madre-esposa”, “mujer trabajadora” y “mujer independiente-la otra”.  El bienestar se presenta como una tensión entre las femineidades “madre-esposa” y “mujer trabajadora” e incluye aspectos sociales que impactan esta tensión. Por otro lado, se da cuenta de las principales enfermedades reconocidas por las pobladoras, siendo el “daño” la más temida y la que está asociada a la envidia entre mujeres. Así, la discusión se centra en la comprensión del “daño” como metáfora del imaginario social y la envidia como enfermedad social intra-género que impide la alianza entre mujeres. O artigo ressalta a importância de considerar os aspectos culturais e de gênero na compreensão da saúde mental, bem como nas concepções sobre bem-estar e doença que as pessoas têm. A partir da análise do discurso de um grupo de mulheres de um centro populoso localizado no sul do Peru, analisamos os conteúdos que dão essas noções da diversidade cultural e foco de gênero. Através da observação participante e entrevistas em profundidade, os participantes relatam três modelos de feminilidade: "mãe-esposa", "mulher trabalhadora" e "mulher independente - a outra". O bem-estar é apresentado como uma tensão entre as feminilidades "mãe-esposa" e "mulher trabalhadora", incluindo aspectos sociais que afetam essa tensão. Por outro lado, examinamos as principais doenças reconhecidas pela população, sendo "prejudiciais" as mais temidas e associadas às mulheres invejadas. A discussão centra-se na compreensão do "dano" como uma metáfora da imagem social e da inveja como uma doença social intra-gênero que previne a aliança entre as mulheres.     2017-07-14 2022-03-22T15:12:30Z 2022-03-22T15:12:30Z http://www.psicoperspectivas.cl/index.php/psicoperspectivas/article/view/1010 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80668 es <p>The author/s grant exclusive license without temporary limit for the manuscript to be published in the journal Psicoperspectivas.
