Este artículo va más allá de las expresiones ideales sobre la dualidad y la encarnación para examinar a tres parejas en el relato del nacimiento de sus hijos. Un análisis preciso de tres textos de entrevistas en quechua produce tres tipos de relación en los cuales los cuidados obstétricos y el descuido de los maridos se manifiestan de diferentes maneras. La práctica ritual de yanantin se enfrenta con experiencias actuales de mujeres que dan a luz y hacen frente a la falta de consideración, la suficiencia y el error de sus maridos. El material es analizado como representaciones teatrales y como estudios de caso que ilustran las emociones y las exigencias morales detrás de la práctica compartida del parto. Cet article va au-delà des expressions idéales sur la dualité et l’incarnation afin d’examiner trois couples à travers le récit de la naissance de leurs enfants. Une analyse fine de trois textes d’entretiens en quechua produit trois types de relation dans lesquels les soins obstétricaux et l’insouciance des maris se manifestent de différentes manières. La pratique rituelle de yanantin est confrontée à des expériences actuelles de femmes qui accouchent et font face au manque de considération, à la suffisance et à l’erreur de leurs maris. Le matériel est analysé comme des représentations théâtrales et des études de cas qui illustrent les émotions et les exigences morales derrière la pratique partagée de l’accouchement. |

| description |
This article moves beyond ideal expressions of duality and embodiment to examine three couples through their narratives of the birth of their children. Close analysis of three Quechua interview texts yields three types of relationship in which the obstetric care and carelessness of husbands are manifest in different ways. The ritual practice of yanantin is confronted with birthing women’s actual experiences of husbands’ thoughtlessness, self-importance and error. The materials are analyzed as dramatic performances and as case studies that illustrate the emotions and moral demands behind the shared practice of childbirth. |
