Abstract
Este articulo analiza la reproducción humana, que no es sólo un proceso biológico, puesto que esta determinada por las condiciones materiales y las relaciones sociales. Esta es una de las conclusiones extraídas de la revisión de estudios antropológicos dirigidos al embarazo, parto y posparto o puerperio. Estas etnografías empiezan en 1970, aunque no sean conocidas en nuestro contexto. Nosotros realizamos una aproximación a este fenómeno, sus problemáticas y damos algunas referencias para su estudio en nuestra sociedad. Algunas de estas problemáticas es la naturaleza social de la reproducción, su control y medicalización. Las representaciones como un proceso fisiológico, patológico y productivo aparecen como dicotomías que juegan un rol importante en la construcción de este fenómeno: naturaleza-cultura y producción-reproducción principalmente. Además se muestra la relación entre la perspectiva de género y la reproducción para comprender este asunto.

This is one of the conclusions reported in this review about anthropological studies directed to pregnancy, childbirth and pospartum.

We give an approach of this issue, their problematics and some references for the study of this phenomenon in our society. Some problematics aspects are the social nature of reproduction, their control and medicalization. The representations as physiology, pathology and productive process appears as dichotomies that play an important role on this phenomenon; reproduction-production and biological-cultural mostly. Besides it shows the relation between gender perspective about reproduction for understanding this issue.
