Entre normativas e narrativas: uma análise da violência obstétrica no Brasil sob o Governo Bolsonaro

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the issue of obstetric violence, understanding its various forms of manifestation through the analysis of narratives about the phenomenon in the country. Using a qualitative approach, the research is based on the analysis of social structures, employing documentary studies to examine laws and regulations related to the phenomenon. The methodology employed content analysis to categorize the data, which were interpreted based on the contributions of Bourdieu, Butler, and McNay. Through the analysis of narratives presented by medical and social entities regarding the definition of obstetric violence and the study of Brazilian State actions concerning obstetric violence during the Bolsonaro government, the results of this research point to the need to problematize patriarchal standards, gender norms, and consider the complexity of obstetric violence and its intersectionality across different segments of society.
