Resumo: This paper is based on the analysis of rare works related to the colonial period which are found at the National Library of Rio de Janeiro, and on contemporary literature that reports women's daily life, health and life conditions. The information obtained allows us to describe different knowledge, beliefs and practices related to the woman's body at that time. The study shows that women, due to their reproductive condition, experienced menstruation, procreation, delivery and breast-feeding. Therefore, we may say that Brazil, during the colonial period, inherited from the Portuguese tradition, as well as from the Catholic Church, State and Medicine, a moralizing speech about the woman's body. Under such watchful eyes of so many protectors - State, Church, men and society - the only task left to the woman's body was to neatly fill in the colony's demographic gaps.

Las informaciones obtenidas permiten describir saberes, creencias y prácticas relacionados con el cuerpo femenino. El análisis indica que la mujer, debido a su condición de reproductora, vivía las experiencias de tener la menstruación, engendrar, dar a luz y amamantar. En fin, se puede decir que el Brasil colonial heredó de las tradiciones portuguesas, de común acuerdo con la Iglesia Católica, el Estado y la Medicina, un discurso moralizador sobre el cuerpo de la mujer. Vigilado por los ojos atentos de tantos protectores - Estado, Iglesia, hombres y sociedad - el cuerpo de la mujer no tenía otra tarea más que llenar ordenadamente los vacíos demográficos de la colonia.Este estudo fundamenta-se na análise de obras raras, relativas ao período colonial, existentes na Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, e da literatura contemporânea referente ao quotidiano da mulher, suas condições de vida e saúde. As informações obtidas permitem a descrição de saberes, crenças e práticas relativas ao corpo feminino. A análise indica que a mulher, por sua condição de reprodutora, vivenciava as funções de menstruar, gerar, dar à luz e amamentar. Enfim, pode-se dizer que o Brasil colonial herdou das tradições portuguesas, em comum acordo entre a Igreja Católica, o Estado e a Medicina, um discurso moralizador sobre o corpo da mulher. Vigiado pelos olhos atentos de tantos protetores - Estado, Igreja, homens e sociedade -, o corpo da mulher não possuía outra tarefa senão a de preencher ordenadamente os vazios demográficos da colônia.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais1998-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Parestext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/46750REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 2 No. 1 (1998)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 2 Núm. 1 (1998)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 2 n. 1 (1998)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/46750/38006https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/46750/38007Copyright (c) 1998 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNascimento, Estelina Souto doMedina, Anamaria Vaz de AssisTeixeira, Cláudia Dias de Lacerda2023-07-03T11:54:53Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/46750Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2023-07-03T11:54:53Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
