Tecnologías contraceptivas y feminidad: la pastilla como un script de género
Contraceptives tecnologies and femininity: the pill as a gender script
Este artículo analiza los contextos histórico, científico y social que permitieron el desarrollo y la comercialización de la pastilla anticonceptiva. Además, identifica las estructuras de poder que guiaron la construcción de esta tecnología y los discursos que promueve sobre el cuerpo femenino. La pastilla anticonceptiva es conceptualizada como un script o guion de género, es decir, como una tecnología que materializa ciertas representaciones, valores y prácticas determinadas de género. Esta aproximación constructivista nos permite revelar las estructuras sociales y culturales sobre las que reposa este script y, de esta forma, cuestionar la noción de la pastilla anticonceptiva como una tecnología intrínsecamente emancipadora. This paper analyzes the historical, scientific, and social contexts that guided the development and commercialization of the contraceptive pill. The essay sheds light on the power structures that shaped the construction of this technology and the discourses that it promotes about the female body. The contraceptive pill is conceptualized as a gender script, that is, a technology that crystallizes specific gender representations, values, and practices. This constructivist approach allows us to reveal the social and cultural structures that sustain this gender script and, in this way, helps us question the notion of the contraceptive pill as an intrinsically emancipatory technology.
