Las Pasiegas Square in Granada: Breastfeeding and Heritage, a Research Proposal

Abstract

A proposal of research-in-progress, combining lactation studies and critical heritage studies, is presented here. The aim of this work is to rescue oral memories about the breastfeeding practice in the Plaza de las Pasiegas of Granada (Spain): from past waged nursing to current lactivism. Through that social and civic story involving a culture of breastfeeding (1), we land on the culture of contemporary nursing (2), in turn creating what we consider new ways of living heritage.
