CALDERON JARAMILLO, Mariana. Multiple ontologies of female bodies in discourse of sexual and reproductive rigths. Rev. colomb. soc. [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.1, pp.277-294. ISSN 0120-159X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcs.v40n1.61962.

This article summarizes the main approaches of a study focusing on the question on how female bodies are constructed in the discourse of sexual and reproductive rights. In this regard, various reflections are made regarding differences articulated in these constructions, in terms of race, gender, religion, class, sexual orientation and geopolitical location. This was done using a qualitative methodology, inspired by institutional ethnog raphy, which pays special attention to the ways institutional discourses are coordinated through texts as well as the effects of such coordination in the construction of the objects for intervention in family planning institutions.

The article offers a conceptual review of the theoretical tools to think about women's body, trying to overcome the tension between nature and culture. The results of the study are explained with a discussion of the ontological multiplicity in the construction of fe male bodies in the analyzed discourses.

The conclusions demonstrate that the image of the modern female body articulates the very different ways in which the body is constructed as an object of intervention and how this enables coordination between knowledge, practices and institutions which seek to implement the internationalist project of sexual and reproductive rights. Thus, the idea of the modern female body articulates the differences between the First and Third Worlds, the tensions between a discourse of sexual and reproductive rights and duties, the idea of a body saved by the heroics of physicians to implement the family planning projects and a medical strategy transmitted by sexual education projects.
