Zusammenfassung: | The scope of this study is to discuss teaching strategies directed towards women to institutionalize the representation of normal birth based on the work "Natural Childbirth: A Guide for Future Parents", published in 1955. The research begins with a historical and cultural analysis of the 1955, 1957, 1960 and 1964 editions of this book. It is aided by materials published, in the same period, which share the same meanings and representations concerning issues surrounding childbirth in the Brazilian context. It is a period marked by retrospectives and the emergence of methods for preparing women for the childbirth process. The results of our analysis, in the light of Roger Chartier's theoretical framework, especially applying the notion of representation of Michel Foucault, indicate that the apparatuses used in the work's registers sought to propose a disciplinary model for childbirth: institutionalization, medical insertion and industrialization of normal childbirth in the Brazilian context of the mid-twentieth century.Key words Natural childbirth, History, Obstetrics, Human body, InstitutionalizationO objetivo deste estudo foi discutir as estrategias pedagogicas destinadas as mulheres para institucionalizacao da representacao do parto normal a partir da obra Parto Natural: Guia para os futuros pais, publicada em 1955. Partiu-se de uma analise historica e cultural desse livro em suas edicoes publicadas nos anos de 1955, 1957, 1960 e 1964, auxiliada por materiais publicados a epoca que compartilhavam das mesmas significacoes e representacoes referentes as questoes do parto no contexto brasileiro. Esse periodo foi marcado pelo resgate e surgimento de metodos de preparacao da mulher para o processo de parir. A analise, a luz do referencial teorico de Roger Chartier, principalmente com a nocao de representacao, e de Michel Foucault, indica que os dispositivos utilizados na tessitura da obra visaram propor um modelo de parto disciplinar, a institucionalizacao, medicalizacao e industrializacao do parto normal no contexto brasileiro em meados do seculo XX.Palavras-chave Parto normal, Historia, Obstetricia, Corpo humano, Institucionalizacao |
