The present academic article Feeling the bodies socially: The imaginary of menstruation in the Circle of Women 13 Moons is a confronted answer with other women and men to the personal questioning of the author on the menstruation. A process that through history has been approached from medicine, anthropology, psychology and sociology, also finds its space in the studies of communication and gender.
Menstruation as a physiological process of woman can not be reduced solely to the explanations that Western medicine has provided. There is a whole world of imagery and communicative practices that are shared by human beings to tell their worldview.
Symbolic and interpretive anthropology, cultural studies, communication and gender are other possible readings of the menstrual cycle. This is a work in which the dominant and traditional imaginaries about menstruation (shame, disgust, discomfort) perpetuated through time meet with others who resignify and celebrate them.
What are the imaginary about menstruation? And what communicative practices do these imaginaries hold? Were the key questions that guided the research developed along with nine participants of the Circle of Women 13 Moons. The story made it possible to tell their stories, which, far from elaborating theory, expressed their vital meaning about a process that goes far beyond the detachment of the uterine layer called the endometrium. |
