Description
Abstract
Este artículo explora, a través de una metodología cualitativa,
la experiencia de la maternidad lesbiana, reconociéndola
como experiencia genuina de formas de parentesco
asociada al cuidado y al tiempo transcurrido con el otro, lo
que se interpreta como una forma de la mutualidad del ser
en Sahlins, donde lo biológico deviene metáfora de algo
que se vive como proceso. Además, el ejercicio y visibilidad
de maternidad lesbiana se construye socialmente, poniendo
en discusión mitos sobre la identidad lesbiana y a su
vez, participando activamente en el cambio social percibido
como un proceso de larga duración, de paulatino alejamiento
de formas estáticas del parentesco y las relaciones
sociales hacia una visión no necesariamente individualista
(fundada en la “libertad de elegir”) pero sí procesual y dinámica
de los mismos.
This paper explores, through a qualitative methodology and an ethnographic approach, the experience of lesbian motherhood, recognizing it as a genuine kinship experience, associated with the care and the time spent together. It is interpreted as a form of the “mutuality of being” in Sahlins, where the biological becomes a metaphor of something that is experienced as a process. In addition, the exercise and visibility of lesbian motherhood is socially constructed, putting into discussion myths about lesbian identity and, at the same time, actively participating in social change, perceived as a long durée process, gradually moving away from static forms of kinship and social relations, towards a vision not necessarily individualistic (based on the “freedom to choose”) rather a process-like and dynamic one.
