    Resum:
    The dissertation presents an analysis of childbirth care in biomedical institutions in Chile, during the second decade of the 21st century, when policies and programs to transit from a technocratic to a humanistic model of care are being implemented. Through document review, and the application of interviews and questionnaires to women who had given birth in biomedical institutions within the country, midwives and obstetricians, I conclude that the changes that have occurred are rather superficial and have not permeated the paradigm of care. The principles of the technocratic model of childbirth -biologicism, authoritarianism, risk approach, inferior vision of the feminine, pathological conception of the birthing process, among others- continue to prevail, but “dressed” in humanism. Thus, under an apparent greater possibility for women to choose and to exercise “autonomy” in decision-making regarding childbirth, the imaginaries that perpetuate their subordinate position are kept alive. Furthermore, women can read the failure to protect their rights during childbirth in terms of personal responsibility and even guilt
