Abstract:

The study highlights speeches produced by mother-women and professionalsthe Rede Cegonha Program of the Ministry of Health of Brazil in the relationship between the body, the woman and the public health policies on childbirth and birth. To this end, 17 semi-structured interviews were carried out, categorized in Rede Cegonha Program, body and woman, and subjected to Foucault’s discourse analysis - processes of subjectification (resistance and subjection) and biopolitics. The data showed: i) the relevance of a public program for this purpose; ii) the centrality of the pregnant body and historical challenge in understanding the mother-woman beyond reproduction; iii) the idea of defective bodies and resistance of those who know how to give birth; and iv) the possibilities of self-government of mother-women and, consequently, the production of themselves based on the reported experiences. We highlight the importance of studies in the area that emphasize the bodies of mother-women as producers of their lives, strengthening their processes of self-government.
