ORMART, Elizabeth  and  CURADO, Constanza. The construction of catholic subjectivity through the figure of the virgin-mother in the field of assisted reproductive technologies. Inter disciplina [online]. 2022, vol.10, n.28, pp.301-324.  Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 2448-5705.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485705e.2022.28.83300.

We will present the female subjectivity of the current era in two scenarios: the legal-political plane, shaken by a social dynamic surrounding the debates on abortion and assisted reproduction techniques in Argentina, and the religious sphere, which poses a discourse in which female identity is exhausted in motherhood, supported by the myth of the virgin mother. At a political level, in Argentina the confrontation between the green and light blue scarves marks a social polarization that is exposed in the debates present in the media, creating a lay versus religious debate. There is reflected the place destined for wo- men: as mothers. The objective of this work is to describe religious representations around women: virgin, mother and sinner present in the collective imaginary around the feminine that circulates through the media in debates related to abortion and in user forums of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The methodology is digital ethnography, we take as a methodological background of the present investigation those that address the use of virtual forums on issues related to infertility and we investigate the representations around the feminine charged with religious connotations such as: guilt, sacrifice, hope.

Keywords : ART; Virgin Mary; mother; women.
