  abstract = {{S}ince the 1970s, international activist movements have denounced a medical and techno-centric approach to birth. {I}n response to this "techno-bio-medicalization" of birth, the concept of humanized childbirth emerged in the 1990s in {L}atin {A}merica and then became global. {T}his article proposes to analyse the failure of a {J}apanese project of humanized childbirth in a maternity hospital in {B}enin. {O}n the basis of participant observations and interviews, we show that the proposal of {J}apanese development actors came up against a strong incorporation of obstetrical science by the health workers and more particularly by the {B}eninese midwives. {M}ore specifically, by forbidding the presence of an attendant near the woman giving birth and by refusing to accept a position other than the gynaecological one, the midwives reproduce the dominant model of biomedicalization of childbirth to the detriment of women's comfort and psychological and social well-being.},
