Infancia, género y medicina. Un análisis histórico de los discursos endocrinológicos sobre el síndrome adiposo genital en Buenos Aires y Barcelona (2017)

unapi

Este trabajo pretende contribuir a la problematización de las lecturas sobre la obesidad y la sexualidad infantil a través de un análisis histórico de los discursos de la endocrinología en Buenos Aires y Barcelona, en las décadas de 1920 y 1930. Focalizaremos en dos escenarios de una controversia en torno de la obesidad de los varones que articuló saberes de la endocrinología con supuestos morales sobre las familias y representaciones de género. Nuestro objetivo es identificar cómo se resignificaron los saberes sobre hormonas sexuadas disponibles en el campo científico internacional, en el marco de las experiencias clínicas locales. Consideramos que los endocrinólogos se valieron de estereotipos de género para leer los cuerpos de sus pacientes, pero sus interpretaciones también estuvieron mediadas por los intereses y las lógicas de las instituciones de las que formaron parte. La relevancia del psicoanálisis en Buenos Aires y la importancia de la tradición experimental en Barcelona serán aspectos centrales para identificar las particularidades de cada caso. Nuestro corpus documental está constituido por publicaciones científicas especializadas.
