This essay analyses the way in which the photography of breastfeeding women-mothers turns into a producing discursive instrument of new corporealities and new discourses. Starting from the redefinition of the categories “woman” and “mother” and their conjunction in the binominal “breastfeeding women-mothers”, and making use of the criticism as sabotage as work methodology, this paper offers a sample of the ways of representation of these new corporealities and these new discourses. Also it presents an investigation of the dynamics of acceptance and/or rejection of the latter, regarding the old discourses that operate around the tale of breastfeeding.

Keywords : photography; breastfeeding women-mothers; corporealities; discourses; criticism as sabotage.
