“…While the USA, the United Kingdom, and France are countries that can be considered “central” in science (they have research history and tradition, always ranked among the most productive countries, and are among the ones that cause greater impact in scientific research), notably, Portugal is Brazil’s third most frequent partner because science historians credit a certain “delay” in the constitution of a scientific community in Brazil to the fact that it was a colony of Portugal—due to the fact that there was no incentive to do scientific work given that the colonizer itself had no research tradition (Schwartzman, 2001 ), unlike countries colonized by the United Kingdom, for example. As seen in this study, as the Brazilian research on gender studies is mainly published in Portuguese, perhaps the use of the same language allows for greater dialogue between the two countries, a factor that the authors who analyzed Cadernos Pagu identified as a challenge for the area in the international debate (Lopes & Piscitelli, 2004 ).…”

“…Research in gender studies in Brazil is of paramount importance, and so far it has not been investigated in the dimension that we have adopted here. Previous papers that have investigated research on gender studies focused on specific areas (Bufrem & Nascimento, 2012 ; Devide et al, 2011 ; Espírito Santo, 2008 ) or were limited to certain topics (Brilhante et al, 2016 ; Minella, 2013 ; Resende et al, 2012 ) or to specialized journals in the area (Costa, 2008 ; Diniz & Foltran, 2004 ; Lopes & Piscitelli, 2004 ; Matos, 2018 ; Vieira et al, 2016 ). Thus, this study presents an unprecedented scope that is broader than other research carried out within gender studies: it aims to understand the research in this area in Brazilian science under a broader perspective, through its scientific production, analyzing bibliometric indicators of activity and collaboration.…”

The development of Brazilian women’s and gender studies: a bibliometric diagnosis

This study analyzes the characteristics and development of Brazilian research on women’s and gender studies using a new comprehensive data source that is still hardly explored in bibliometric studies called 1Findr. The search expression forms a part of a methodological proposition for similar studies, based on the literature review of other analogous studies and on the historical and current characteristics of Brazil. We analyzed 31,609 Brazilian articles on women’s and gender studies based on bibliometric indicators including activity, collaboration, and thematic association, with excerpts from the 1970s to 2019. Our results show that, initially, research was linked to the health sciences and was carried out in institutions in the Southeast and South of the country; however, this trend started changing since the 1990s, when two journals specialized in the area were first developed in Brazil and when researchers in the human and social sciences started working with this subject. Since then, the volume of articles, collaboration, and research has grown throughout the country, although production is still concentrated in the Southeast and South. Federal public universities are the main research actors, and researchers prioritize national journals and the Portuguese language. However, the main characteristic, which increases over time, is plurality: in relation to science in general and to other areas of Brazilian research, women’s and gender studies present a greater plurality in terms of its publication characteristics, for example, in relation to the amount and percentage of languages. Plurality is also observed in the fact that, over the years, researchers from new disciplines have started to publish on gender studies, making the area more and more inter- and multidisciplinary, and also consolidating it scientifically, in the sense that it has become a subject of interest for all areas of research. Its presence in journals with the best ratings in the Brazilian research system supports the understanding that this is a scientifically consolidated area. In contrast, despite its continuous growth, collaboration is a rare phenomenon, and specific characteristics of studies carried out with foreign partners can be observed. Collaboration clusters among national institutions are characterized, among other factors, by their geographic proximity and the central role of major universities, such as Universidade de São Paulo, and others associated with the history of the area in the country, such as Universidade de Campinas, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. The dataset obtained, prepared, and used in the present research is available for new studies. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11192-022-04545-w.

'Quando nasce um bebê, nasce também uma mãe?' : maternidade e reprodução humana assistida em mulheres laqueadas

SÃO PAULO 2010"Quando nasce um bebê, nasce também uma mãe?" -maternidade e reprodução humana assistida em mulheres laqueadas SÃO PAULO 2010É expressamente proibida a comercialização deste documento, tanto na sua forma impressa como eletrônica. Sua reprodução total ou parcial é permitida exclusivamente para fins acadêmicos e científicos, desde que na reprodução figure a identificação do autor, título, instituição e ano da Tese. ABSTRACTIn this thesis I analyze the trajectories of sterilized women who wish to have a new experience of maternity by means of assisted human reproduction, identifying the agents and socializing institutions which contributed to the decision taken. The analysis focuses on the understanding of how the trajectory is constructed, from the repentance of the original sterilization through to the renewal of the desire for maternity. On the basis of the hypothesis that maternity and the blood relationship are still preponderant in the constitution of the family, the author has described and analyzed these trajectories and their implications in the act of the reconstruction of the family, seeing that the return to the renewed experience of maternity arises as a desire followed by action, some years after the establishment of the second marital relationship. During the discussions with the women involved, other relevant questions such as the greater value attributed to the discourse on the origin of individuals and, in consequence, of the biologization of the social dimension and of the "naturalization"of the roles involved, arose. The field of study consisted of women who were awaiting assisted human reproduction treatment at a hospital of the public health network of the State of São Paulo. We, the women concerned and the author, met on several occasions: sometimes all together, at others, individually, by means of these contacts building up a certain affection. Thus the material was composed of the transcriptions of the discussion group, of the interviews and of the notes made in the field diary. Assisted human reproduction is, nowadays, becoming widespread, determining the primacy of biology, of the science which can provide whoever seeks it with the possibility of having a baby the source of whose genetic material is safe, certain, genes of one's genes. And this biologization of the social dimension brings with it another subliminal question, because in undergoing assisted human reproduction treatment, the woman concerned perpetuates and guarantees the family ideal, the background of her own upbringing: only one mother, only one father, in brief: one only and undoubted origin. There is a discourse of the renewed value of pregnancy, a biological and biographical event par excellence. It is important that the women who participated in this study, and as many others scattered throughout this country, should be better informed (about contraceptive procedures, sterilization, risks, assisted human reproduction, its collateral effects and the possibilities of success, among other things) so that,...

Feminism and Women’s History in Academic Institutions in the Southern Cone: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay

The aim of this article is to analyze the process of institutionalization of women’s history through the creation of study centers, and the related publications in the Southern Cone. For that purpose we consider a selection of journals as examples of collective texts that played a considerable role in institutionalizing study centers and professionalizing the field, namely in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay. In addition, we consider the advances in women’s history, since it was one of the disciplines on which women’s studies had a significant impact. In summary, we argue that due to the publication of specific journals, a more complex set of problems and questions arose, allowing the development of women’s studies converging later to the wider thematics of gender studies.
