Brazil is experiencing an epidemy of caesarean sections with a rate of more than 55% of surgical deliveries in 2018, leading the world ranking.

Brazil is experiencing an epidemy of caesarean sections with a rate of more than 55% of surgical deliveries in 2018, leading the world ranking. This goes against the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and draws the attention of researchers. Many studies have pointed to a “caesarean culture” or “sociocultural factors” without developing what is means. The aim of this article is to contribute to this discussion about sociocultural factors, and does so through an association between modern temporality, predictability, obstetric violence, and caesarean rates. To establish this relation, the article has three parts: in the first, we discuss the concept of modern temporality and bring the key concept of predictability; in the second part, we present the discussion about caesarean rates in Brazil; in the third, we relate predictability and temporality with obstetric violence, evidencing the argument that modern temporality, which values – par excellence – the control of the future and predictability, when combined with the unpredictability of obstetric violence (suffered by one in four women during the childbirth in Brazil) disseminate a “caesarean culture”, leading women to vulnerability and loss of sexual and reproductive rights. O Brasil vive uma epidemia de cesáreas com uma taxa de mais de 55% de partos cirúrgicos no ano de 2018, liderando o ranking mundial. Isso contraria as recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde e desperta atenção de pesquisadores. Muitos estudos têm apontado para uma “cultura da cesárea” ou “fatores socioculturais”, sem desenvolver o que isso significa. O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para esta discussão acerca dos fatores socioculturais, e faz isso através de uma análise conceitual, estabelecendo associação entre temporalidade moderna, previsibilidade, violência obstétrica, e índices de cesáreas como via de nascimento. Enunciamos um problema empírico necessário e pouco explorado conceitualmente, e acionamos bibliografias próprias da teoria sociológica contemporânea, construindo um argumento de que o elemento sociocultural que contribui para as altas taxas de cesáreas no país podem ser traduzidos em desejo por segurança ontológica e previsibilidade, típicos da modernidade. Sugerimos também uma possível saída, teórica e empírica, que garanta os direitos reprodutivos das mulheres e devolva a elas seu protagonismo.
