SUMMARY:

This work investigates, through ethnographic research, the sociability circuit of
doulas in Rio Grande do Norte, taking as an empirical focus the activities promoted
and/or attended by those who associate themselves with the alternative aspect of the
Movement for the Humanization of Childbirth. This circuit today consists of meetings
that have disseminated the ideas of Natural and Feminist Gynecology, an emerging
sociocultural expression in Latin America in the last decade that has become popular
through conversation circles, workshops and immersions, promoting a particular
symbolic system (BOURDIEU, 2003) and a lifestyle (MAGNANI, 1999; SCHWADE,
2001). We sought to understand how doulas have incorporated the ideas of Natural
Gynecology into their narratives and practices, what points of contact this movement
has with the Humanization of Childbirth and their own ideas, and what this implies in
the construction of the identity and worldview of doulas. This research has particularly
appropriated the theoretical and methodological elaborations of Urban Anthropology,
Feminist Anthropology and some formulations around the gender and coloniality axis
produced, above all, by women in the global south.
