La palabra en las maternidades: una aproximación a la psicología perinatal

2001

El reconocimiento del recién nacido como un ser interactuante con el medio físico y humano que lo rodea, implicó cambios en las conductas de los equipos de salud , a cargo de las unidades de internación neonatal.

Contra la patologización intensiva en términos de derechos humanos: Activismo gordo en Argentina

2020

This work addresses the way in which Argentine Fat Activism has developed, in recent years, the demand for depathologization of fatness, taking elements from critical discourses on the health of fat people to frame them in a perspective typical of the Human Rights. First, the contemporary fat body is described in terms of stigma and discrimination, especially in the health field. Then, they refer to a series of critical positions on the pathologization and medicalization of fatness from the biomedical perspective, Fat Studies and Fat Activism. Lastly, a series of interventions that the Argentine activist collective Taller Hacer la Vista Gorda produced between 2017 and 2020 were considered, …

Devianze sessuali

2021

La sessualità è una delle dimensioni umane che hanno ricevuto maggiori forme di controllo, regolamentazione e normalizzazione. In particolare, essa è divenuta argomento di studio tramite approcci essenzialisti riconducibili al concetto di scientia sexualis, che proponeva una sessualità monolitica, ancorata ai concetti di giusto e sbagliato, morale e immorale, normale e anormale. dipendentemente dalle culture e organizzazioni di riferimento. Ancora oggi, nonostante le riflessioni in chiave simbolico-interazionista offerta da autori quali Garfinkel, Goffman e Simon e Gagnon, la sessualità appare regolamentata dal discorso medico e legata a doppio nodo dalla dimensione morale.

Las comunidades virtuales de atención constituyen espacios legos que cumplen con funciones distintas en la gestión del malestar. En esta investigación nos fijamos en los grupos on-line de Facebook de personas diagnosticadas de agorafobia para escrutar la articulación de respuestas legas de gestión del diagnóstico biomédico de la agorafobia como trastorno. Nos servimos de la netnografía, a través del análisis de discursos de las entradas y de entrevistas cualitativas complementarias, como diseño metodológico. El marco teórico que nos aportan los conceptos de medicalización y la biomedicalización nos sirven como coordenadas que nos permiten comprender que las articulaciones de estrategias de …

Self treating in the moderne era

2013

In the modern era, self healing is to respond to situations created by medicine. Its effectiveness, its limits, its interventions, its practice, its tendency to medicalize existences, its inclusion in market economy are as many factors that interact with the self healing ability as attest the disruption of the patient's identity schema during interventions to repair physical trauma, chronic patient which depends on medicine, the medicalization of the aging. As well the task assigned to the modern man is to escape from enslavements, weathering effects, interferences generated by medical activities. In this sense, self healing is, on the one hand, to decrypt the aims of medicine and to determ…

“Sick woman” or “half woman”? Breast and cervical cancer, emotional script and representations of female body in a mediterranean area of Italy

2016

The proposal aims to highlight the semiotic elements of the discourse that refer to the symbolic ones of representations, and that transform the therapy in an exercise of professional dominion aimed to modify the perception of the self of the female patient through the subversion of specific emotional script. The mapping of the emotional scripts of shame and modesty, in their performative evolution, will be useful to demonstrate how and through what relational strategies the medicalization performs a gender violence which leads to exclude and self-stigmatise the sick woman, considered a “half woman”. The reflection that has its incipit in the ascertainment that the female body has been and …
