Perspectivas do nascer : produção de vínculos na experiência do parto Tupinikim

Abstract

Ethnographic study that produced a mapping of traditional Tupinikim health practices, with pregnant women and midwives, from Aracruz/ES, producing a discussion between hegemonic health and Tupinikim health, their excesses and contributions. We reach traditional knowledge using a group device as a facilitator of orality/narrativity between the most experienced and the youngest. During the activities it was possible to access, in addition to the traditional practices, the violence that the hegemonic way produces on the bodies. This network of exchange of experiences produced knowledge and prevention of violence on pregnant women studied. The group was also given information on the legislation related to indigenous childbirth, which, together with its political activism, endorse its own way of life.
