¿QUIÉN SE HA LLEVADO MI PLACENTA? NARRACIONES PLACENTARIAS: Episteme y política desde una bioética feminista y decolonial
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.62701/revmedica.v13.5459Palabras clave:
Placenta, Bioética, Feminismo, Giro decolonialResumen
Este artículo presenta un abordaje multidisciplinar sobre la placenta para entender su tratamiento en diferentes culturas y contextos históricos. Se parte de la bioética feminista y decolonial, para realzar la importancia de las narraciones maternas como fuente de conocimiento autorizado. Como principal objetivo, se realiza una revisión narrativa crítica sobre una historia etnocultural de la placenta; de ahí, se acuñan y desarrollan conceptos como narrativas/relatos placentarios, revival placentario o agencia placentaria, para enriquecer críticamente, en lo epistémico y político, el discurso al respecto de la placenta, recomendándose finalmente la regulación jurídica de los derechos directos de las madres sobre sus propias placentas.
