Concepciones sobre las maternidades lesbianas. Producciones narrativas desde la perspectiva jurídica, bio- médica, religiosa y cotidiana elaboradas en Quito en el año 2021

Abstract

This research paper aims to analyze the conceptions of lesbian maternity that are held in the legal, biomedical, religious and everyday spheres through Narrative Productions elaborated in Quito. To this end, we proceed to identify hegemonic and counter-hegemonic notions around lesbian maternities that emerge from the legal, biological and religious perspective. Finally, we describe the conceptions of the everyday life of a lesbian mother. This research covers dimensions that are developed in a cultural, social and ideological context on conceptions that have been little addressed in our usual environment. They will be described through Narrative Productions, which are considered as primary sources of information because from them it is possible to reveal new perspectives on lesbian motherhood, different techniques of fertilization, religious conceptions, scope and absences. We work with dimensions from three areas: the legal with a lawyer, the religious with a religious woman and the biological with a doctor, who will give their perspective on lesbian maternity. Faced with these dimensions, the experience of a lesbian mother is key to understanding how she approaches her life and that of her children in each of the dimensions addressed. Within the dimensions an emergent category is structured that is psychological, this category is related to the expertise of a lesbian mother, within the Ecuadorian context.
