摘要：The objective of this article was to explore, through a comprehensive documentary analysis, features and anthropological bases of institutionalized delivery. The results show as hospital births have become a clinical ritual whose purpose is to control procreation through the indiscriminate use of technology and taylorist notions. Mothers have become passive subjects of their own births, while the interference anatomic and biometric control of their body became standard. It is, in short, a true cultural attendance pattern characterized by medicalization, biomechanical control and mechanization of the process, attributes fed, in turn, by a range of ideologies and anthropological bases background as biopolitics, the posthumanism or productivism. It is therefore concluded that the institutionalization of deliveries in the West has been due more to cultural and ideological causes than the alleged practicality epidemiological defended from medical science.
