Summary: Parenthood is a gendered relation, but its bearing on how men and women “do” gender differs: fatherhood is more peripheral an attribute in men’s conventional gender definitions than motherhood is in women’s. Confinement situations may amplify this asymmetry. However, as prisons reflect structural variations, the very saliency of gender as a category of identity may be highly contextual. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in different periods in Portuguese carceral settings, we will focus on variable aspects of motherhood and forms of relatedness in different imprisonment situations.

Elle intervient de façon différenciée dans les définitions du masculin et du féminin, les femmes, plus que les hommes étant désignées à travers leur fonction maternelle. Les situations d’incarcération peuvent amplifier ou au contraire nuancer cette asymétrie de genre. À partir d’une recherche réalisée dans deux prisons portugaises à différentes périodes, cet article revient sur cette asymétrie tout en montrant comment l’identité maternelle prend des formes variables selon les époques, les situations carcérales et les lieux de détention.Fundação para a Ciência e TecnologiaInstitut des Sciences Humaines et Sociales (InSHS)Universidade do MinhoCunha, Manuela Ivone P. daGranja, Rafaela Patrícia Gonçalves20142014-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/29382engCUNHA, M.
