- L'ACCOMPAGNEMENT DES FUTURES MERES AVEUGLES EN REGION PARISIENNE. LA CONSTRUCTION DE COMPETENCES MATERNELLES, ENTRE DRAMATISATION ET BANALISATION Séverine Gojard Antropología Families of blind mothers-to-be usually express some sort of fear, whether founded or not, concerning the transmission of blindness through childbirth. Furthermore, these families more or less explicitly assume that blind mothers-to-be will demonstrate incompetence in terms of mothering skills because of the presumed difficulty of transmitting savoir-faire concerning infants to such women. Professional workers in the field of health and social services also share similar fears and assumptions. Institutionalized measures aimed at helping these women gain the necessary motherly competences do exist, however. From a broader perspective, though, neighbours and media often dramatize such cases. The women concerned demand that their situation be considered as guite normal and that the differences they experience be regarded as trivial. It should be underlined that one of the reasons why families and professionals react the way they do to such pregnancies is due to the social status (marital or professional) of these women rather than to the actual attributes of the handicap itself. 2007 artículo científico 2813-5237 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=664773324005 fr http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6647 Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology application/pdf Universität Bern Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology (Suiza) Vol.12
