PEREIRA, Lívia Cretton  y  TSALLIS, Alexandra Cleopatre. Maternity versus Sacrifice: An Analysis of the Moral Effect of the Discourses and Practices about Maternity Commonly Engendered in the Women's Bodies. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.3, pp. 1-14. ISSN 1809-8908.

The present paper is based on the analysis of a hashtag disseminated through social media used for mutual support by mothers, called #menasmain (something like #badmon), to think about some commonplaces (though not exclusive) in the feminine mother experience: self-blame, debt, failure, sacrifice, depotentialization. The article aims to demonstrate how the discourses disseminated are ABOUT maternity and not WITH female - mothers, elucidating a certain moral effect of the discourses and practices about maternity commonly engendered in the women's bodies. Through this narrative, we intend to forge new politics regarding ourselves towards self-care and understand if women are being able to create, in the experience of becoming a mother, an ethic that communicates with the moral effect of the discourses and practices in their bodies, allowing them different subjetifications from the hegemonic forms.

Palabras clave : Women; Feminism; Biopolitics; Self-Care.
