Résumé

Le VIH/SIDA a renouvelé la nécessité d'une interprétation critique de l'allaitement maternel en termes sociaux et culturels. La question que cette étude aborde est de savoir comment la connaissance médicalement informée de la transmission du VIH par l'allaitement maternel est interprétée et transformée dans une communauté rurale locale de la région de Kilimaryaro dans le nord de la Tanzanie. L'article explore l'articulation entre un discours médical sur le risque et un discours local sur la maternité qui infrJrme le choix de la méthode d'allaitement. Il examine les complexités impliquées dans la prise d'une décision appropriée sur l'allaitement maternel et soutient que l'allaitement maternel doit être compris comme étroitement lié à l'élaboration culturelle du corps féminin et de la maternité. Il montre que le corps de la mère et corps ()/"le nouveau-né font l'objet d'un examen minutieux et de processus de diagnostic locaux. L'allaitement maternel n'est pas seulement perçu comme un échec significatif de la maternité, mais suscite également la suspicion d'un statut séropositif probable de la part de la mère.
