Resumen

FELITTI, Karina  y  ROHATSCH, Magdalena. Pedagogies of menarche: spirituality, gender and power. Soc. relig. [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.50, pp.135-160. ISSN 1853-7081.

Social considerations on menstruation are being transformed from their inclusion in the agenda of the academy, cultural industry and the media; the update on the Fem Care marketplace, the visibility of activisms, and an spiritual discourse that relate menstruation with natural cycles and the sacred. This article explores the offer for celebrating menarche which combines elements of New Age spirituality and feminist slogans, from the survey and analysis of books addressed to girls and from on-site and virtual ethnographies of circles/workshops for girls and their mothers or caregivers. The findings show that this educative and accompaniment proposals rescue the subjective and emotional aspects of menstrual experience, reinforce bonds of solidarity among women and prioritize self-knowledge as a source of power. The dynamics this offer propose also complicate the relationships between secularization, gender and sexual education, highlighting the contributions that come from a spiritual framework.

Palabras clave : Menarche; Pedagogy; Spirituality; Gender; Power.
