Resumo: This article sets out to investigate the relationship that existed between the diffusion of the maternalistic discourse, promoted by doctors, politicians, priests, philosophers, and the decline of the wet nurse profession in nineteenth-century Montevideo. From a gender analysis, an attempt will be made to identify the power ties represented in the treatment and discipline of the bodies of these largely black, mestizo and foreign women. For this, the press, police records, letters, medical reports and bookstore catalogs will be analyzed, looking for traces of the maternalistic discourse (coming from medical hygiene) that tried to criticize and devalue the work of the wet nurses who had been so useful and fashionable during the XVIII century and part of the XIX.

A partir dum análise de género se buscará identificar os vínculos de poder representados no tratamento e disciplinamento dos corpos dessas mulheres em grande parte pretas, mestizas e extrangeiras. Para isso se analizará emprensa, registros da policia, cartas, informes médicos e catálogos de livrarías, procurando rastros do discurso maternalista (proveniente do higienismo médico) que intentavam criticar e desvalorizar a labor das nodrizas que muito útiles e de moda tinham estado durante o seculo XVIII e parte do XIX. Este artigo se propôs pesquisar a relação que existiu entre a difusão do discurso maternalista promovido por médicos, políticos, sacerdotes e filósofos, e o declive da profissão de ama-de-leite em Montevideo no século XIX. A partir da análise de gênero, buscou-se identificar os vínculos de poder representados no tratamento e disciplinamento dos corpos dessas mulheres – na sua maioria negras, mestiças e estrangeiras. Foram analisados dados de imprensa, registros policiais, cartas, boletins médicos e catálogos de livrarias, à procura de rastros de discursos maternalistas (provenientes do higienismo médico), que tentavam criticar e desvalorizar o trabalho das amas-de-leite, muito úteis e modernas na sociedade do século XVIII e parte do século XIX.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2021-04-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/3796210.15448/1980-864X.2021.1.37962Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 47 No. 1 (2021); e37962Estudos Ibero-Americanos; Vol. 47 Núm. 1 (2021); e37962Estudos Ibero-Americanos; v. 47 n. 1 (2021); e379621980-864X0101-406410.15448/1980-864X.2021.1reponame:Estudos Ibero-Americanosinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSspahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/article/view/37962/26726Copyright (c) 2021 Laura Osta Laurahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOsta Vázquez, María Laura2021-04-30T15:34:19Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/37962Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericanaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/iberoamericana/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br||eia@pucrs.br1980-864X0101-4064opendoar:2021-04-30T15:34:19Estudos Ibero-Americanos - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
