Resumo: | The legal regulation of surgical sterilizations, beyond representing the defense of sexual and reproductive rights, was based under the protection of other guidelines. Understanding them and analyzing the State conflicts that preceded the elaboration of the Family Planning Law, specifically the debates about surgical sterilizations, is the objective of this article. To do so, I use Foucauldian studies and State anthropology as theoretical references. Through an ethnography of documents, I also analyze the final reports and testimonies of two Parliamentary Inquiry Commissions (carried out between 1983 and 1992) that preceded the legislative process and at times problematized the need to implement family planning in the country, at others critiquing the excess of surgical sterilizations performed on Brazilian women. The partial results of the research point to an arena of conflicts based on different and sometimes antagonistic interests such as birth control, restriction of the number of sterilization as a way of defending national sovereignty, respect for women’s reproductive freedom and condemnation of tubal ligations. Likewise, power relations of sex, gender, race, class, territory, and sexuality are presented as a fundamental part of the debate around the elaboration of the Family Planning Law. |

O objetivo deste artigo é compreendê-las, analisando os conflitos de Estado que precederam a elaboração da Lei de Planejamento Familiar (LPF), especificamente os debates acerca das esterilizações cirúrgicas. Para tanto, utilizo como referenciais teóricos os estudos foucaultianos e a antropologia do Estado. Através de etnografia de documentos, analiso os relatórios finais e os depoimentos de duas Comissões Parlamentares de Inquérito (realizadas entre 1983 e 1992) que antecederam o processo legislativo e problematizaram ora a necessidade de implementação do planejamento familiar no país, ora o excesso de esterilizações cirúrgicas realizadas nas mulheres brasileiras. Os resultados parciais da pesquisa apontam uma arena de conflitos pautados por interesses diversos e, por vezes antagônicos, tais como o controle de natalidade, a restrição da quantidade de esterilizações como forma de defesa da soberania nacional, o respeito à liberdade reprodutiva de mulheres e a condenação às laqueaduras tubárias. De igual forma, relações de poder, sexo, gênero, raça, classe, território e sexualidade são apresentadas como partes fundamental do debate em torno da elaboração da Lei de Planejamento Familiar.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia, Universidade Federal Fluminense2023-08-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://periodicos.uff.br/antropolitica/article/view/5644010.22409/antropolitica.i.a56440Antropolítica - Revista Contemporânea de Antropologia; v. 55 n. 2 (2023): MAI/JUN/JUL/AGO2179-73311414-737810.22409/antropolitica.reponame:Antropolítica (Online)instname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/antropolitica/article/view/56440/34621https://periodicos.uff.br/antropolitica/article/view/56440/34622Copyright (c) 2023 Monique Ximenes Lopes de Medeiroshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMedeiros, Monique Ximenes Lopes de2023-08-02T12:04:20Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/56440Revistahttp://www.revistas.uff.br/index.php/antropoliticaPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/antropolitica/oaiperiodicos@proppi.uff.br||antropoliticauff@gmail.com||lauragraziela@gmail.com2179-73312179-7331opendoar:2023-08-02T12:04:20Antropolítica (Online) - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
