Resumo: Isolados durante milhares de anos, os indígenas não desenvolveram imunidade diante de vírus e bactérias originários de outros continentes. Apesar de seu habitat não ser destituído de uma grande variedade de moléstias (dentre elas o pian, a leishmaniose cutânea e a doença de Chagas), no contato com o colonizador, a deficiência de resposta imune Th2 para micro-organismos autóctones causou verdadeiras tragédias entre os brasilíndios, que sucumbiam por gripes, sarampo, disenterias e principalmente varíola. Médicos formados constituíam um grupo insignificante no Brasil colonial e diante do vazio profissional, jesuítas (os primeiros que se lançaram nas práticas médicas), curiosos, curandeiros, barbeiros, benzedeiras compunham um contingente expressivo. Todos praticavam uma medicina híbrida, formada inicialmente pela medicina popular européia e indígena; ambas possuíam uma noção materializada da doença que, uma vez instituída, deveria abandonar o organismo. Diante disso, a terapêutica baseava-se em sangrias, purgas e vomitórios, além de rituais, rezas e uso de amuletos para satisfazer o sobrenatural. Estas práticas médicas concomitantemente valeram-se da variada flora medicinal nativa e foram difundidas pelos bandeirantes, que desbravavam os sertões de norte a sul - por este motivo esta terapêutica foi denominada "Remédios de Paulistas" - e foi usada para diversos males como opilação (anemia), escrófulas, "carneiradas" (malária) e "meia-cegueira" (tracoma?), comuns nas matas e vilas incipientes. Nenhuma das medicinas, erudita ou popular - que na realidade eram muito semelhantes entre si - foi eficaz diante das epidemias. A despeito de serem os indígenas suas principais vítimas, elas matavam de senhores de engenho a escravos, faziam ruir a economia e causavam fome e desalento. Falências, crescentes dívidas para importar escravos africanos (mais caros, porém mais resistentes às doenças) constituíram por muitos anos um quadro sombrio da vida no Brasil. Num círculo cruel de causa e efeito, os escravos negros substituíram gradativamente o trabalho indígena nas lavouras, mas trouxeram mais doenças, como o maculo, a febre amarela, a malária (por P. falciparum) e a própria varíola. As tentativas indígenas na defesa de seu território resultaram em fracasso; a morte, na grande maioria das vezes, foi causada direta ou indiretamente pelas doenças infecciosas de além-mar e não por canhões e arcabuzes. Assim, na falta de uma imunidade eficaz, as guerras contra os colonizadores já estavam vencidas, antes mesmo de iniciadas.
Abstract: Isolated during thousands of years, native Brazilians did not developed immunity to microorganisms from another continent. Despite the presence of diseases in their habitat, (such as non venereal treponematosis, cutaneous leshmaniosis and Chagas' disease), with exposure to alien explorers, the deficiency of an immune response Th2 to viruses and foreign bacteria, truly decimated the native population of Brazil, which succumbed secondary to primarily small pox, but also to the flu, measles and dysentery. Trained physicians were scarce in colonial Brazil, and due to this professional void, Jesuits (the first to start medical practices), curious people, shamans, barbers and faith healers tried to replace them; all practiced a hybrid form of medicine, based initially in the popular European medicine combined with native roots. Both schools of thought had a "material" concept of the diseases; that is, once developed, it had to abandon the organism. As such, therapy was based in exsanguinations, intestinal cleansing and forced vomit, in addition to rituals, praying and use of amulets to appease the supernatural world. These medical practices made extensive use of the varied native medicinal flora, and this knowledge was spread out by the alien explorers of the north and south remote regions - as a consequence, this therapy was called " Remedios de Paulistas", i. e., Medicine of Sao Paulo - , and it was used for a variety of maladies such as anemia, scrofula, malaria, and trachoma, diseases common in the jungle and adjacent hamlets. None of the medical practices - classic or popular (very similar to each other) - was efficacious against any epidemics. Despite native Brazilians being most affected, epidemics also killed African slaves and their owners, ruining the economy and causing hunger and discouragement. Personal bankruptcy, increased debts for buying African slaves (more expensive, however more resistant to diseases) lead to, for many years, a somber lifestyle in Brazil. In a cruel circle of cause and effect, African slaves gradually replaced native Brazilians as work force in the plantations; on the other hand, they also brought in diseases such as infectious recto colitis, yellow fever and malaria - caused by P. falciparum, and even small pox. All native Brazilian resistance to colonization resulted in failure; death, in the vast majority of cases, was caused directly or indirectly by the exposure to alien diseases, and not by cannons or guns. As a consequence, due to lack of an efficient immune system, the battle against the colonizers was already lost, even before it had started.

Resumo: Este estudo reconstitui através de uma revisão das fontes historiográficas e documentais, a história da saúde, doença e do sanitarismo da cidade de Campinas durante a Primeira República brasileira, do final do século XIX às primeiras décadas do século XX. Este período de significativas transformações no Brasil, não apenas políticas, também modificaram notoriamente as questões referentes à saúde, tanto no país como na cidade de Campinas. Campinas se destacou como produtora agrícola, inicialmente, e mais tarde como centro industrial e comercial. O trabalho ressalta as diversas modificações pelas quais a cidade atravessou durante os sucessivos surtos epidêmicos que assolaram a cidade, principalmente a febre amarela; destaca a implantação e organização das primeiras instituições destinadas ao tratamento da saúde e doença. A reconstituição proveniente da revisão historiográfica compõe um cenário geral sobre a situação sanitária do período, como da estruturação do serviço de saúde na cidade em meio às mudanças políticas, econômicas, sociais e culturais, intrínsecas à Primeira República brasileira
Abstract: This study reproduces through a review of documentary sources and historiography, the history of health, disease and sanitarism city of Campinas in Brazil during the First Republic, the late nineteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth century. This period of significant transformations in Brazil, not just policies also changed markedly issues relating to health, both at home and in the city of Campinas. Campinas excelled as agricultural production, initially, and later as industrial and commercial center. The work highlights the various changes which the city went through during successive epidemics that ravaged the city, especially yellow fever; highlights the organization and deployment of the first institutions for the treatment of health and disease. Reconstitution from the historiographical revision composes a scene on the general health situation of the period, as the structure of the health service in the city amid the political, economic, social and cultural, intrinsic to the First Brazilian Republic

Full textEsta pesquisa busca interpretar as diversas experiÃncias vivenciadas pela populaÃÃo do Baixo Jaguaribe CearÃ, durante a epidemia de malÃria ao longo dos anos de 1937 a 1940. SerÃo analisadas as adversidades, mudanÃas e permanÃncias culturais que a peste palustre trazia para o dia-a-dia da regiÃo. Tais interferÃncias originaram uma crise na economia local, uma vez que o tempo do trabalho ficou submetido aos intervalos em que os acessos da doenÃa nÃo se manifestavam. Muitas safras, entÃo, ficaram perdidas e muito trabalho por ser realizado nas roÃas, nos carnaubais, nos pastos, nos algodoeiros, dentre outros, pois, em muitas residÃncias, a doenÃa se manifestou em todos os membros de uma mesma famÃlia. A incidÃncia da malÃria tambÃm ocasionou mudanÃas nos rituais fÃnebres: as pessoas nÃo acompanhavam os enterros, evitavam freqÃentar as sentinelas, os sinos das igrejas nÃo badalavam anunciando as mortes e, para alÃm destas, os padres da regiÃo nÃo conseguiam dar conta dos pedidos de extrema-unÃÃo aos moribundos. SerÃo ressaltadas tambÃm as diversas explicaÃÃes para o processo de erradicaÃÃo da doenÃa. Portanto, busca compreender a peste palustre para alÃm do seu carÃter patolÃgico, classificando-a como elemento responsÃvel por todo um processo de desorganizaÃÃo social. Dessa forma, ao optar por estudar a epidemia de malÃria, acabamos por tecer uma teia que envolve tanto os sentimentos, como as experiÃncias vivenciadas pelas pessoas atingidas pela mazela.
This research aims to understand the sort of experiences lived by the population of âBaixo Jaguaribeâ region, state of CearÃ, during the epidemics of malaria through 1937 until 1940. The adversities and the cultural permanency and changes the swampy plague brought to the routine of that region were analyzed. Such interferences originate a crisis in the local economy, once the time dedicated to laboring submitted itself to the intervals that the diseaseâs peak had not appeared. Sometimes the disease reached all the members of one single family, thereupon many crops were lost and also a lot of work to be done in the field (cultivated with carnaubas, cotton) and in the pasture were left behind. Due to the plague, some funeral rituais changed: people did not follow funerals and did not attend to the death-watch, the churchesâ bell did not toll to announce deaths in the community and, besides all this, the priests were not able to attend all the moribund requests to âextrema-unÃÃoâ. The whole set of explications to the process of eradication of the plague were highlighted in this research. Thus, swampy plague was understood beyond its pathologic aspect, referring to it as a component responsible for a complete social disorganization process. Therefore, as the option to study the epidemics of malaria was set, a complex network that embodies feelings as well as experiences lived by the people caught by the plague was found.

Full textThis research investigates epidemics of yellow fever - in 1897 and 1900 - and the Spanish flu - in 1918 - occurred in Sorocaba and the performance of the medical Álvaro César Soares da Cunha in combating them, in order to reveal the sanitary conditions of a city passing through major transformations, such as urban growth and industrialization, in a context of consolidation of official medicine and heated debates on issues related to public health. To this end, draws up an overview of public health and sanitary conditions of Sorocaba in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century, pointing to the worsening of social problems and the increasing number of cases of certain diseases. Thus, it is intended to demonstrate how the living conditions of the poor in Sorocaba was deteriorating more and more as the city had a relative urban and industrial growth. The yellow fever epidemics are reconstituted, addressing political, social and scientific issues that unfolded over the outbreaks, in a dispute context between state power, represented by the State Sanitation Service of São Paulo, and local authorities, represented by physicians and municipal authorities, in the conduct of measures to combat epidemics. The Spanish flu epidemic in the city was a challenge to local public authorities and a threat to local economic stability - at a time when the industrial growth of the city was placed in evidence. Thus, studying the epidemics that ravaged Sorocaba in the late nineteenth century to the twentieth and monitoring the performance of Alvaro Soares in this context, it is intended to better understand the relationship between the consolidation of official medicine in the State of São Paulo and its implications for practice in public health

Resumo: Em 1927 a luta contra a febre amarela parecia finalizada no continente americano. A Fundação Rockefeller, instituição filantrópica estadunidense que tinha como principal objetivo o combate da febre amarela na primeira metade do século XX, assegurava que a doença estava quase erradicada. No entanto, a ocorrência das epidemias de febre amarela no Rio de Janeiro em 1928 (Brasil) e em Socorro em 1929 (Colômbia), colocou em dúvida as medidas profiláticas recomendadas e aplicadas tanto pelos órgãos nacionais de Saúde Pública como os da Fundação Rockefeller que participou da luta contra essa doença em ambos os países. Ao mesmo tempo em que ocorriam as epidemias, uma controvérsia instalou-se em torno à descoberta de Stokes, Bauer e Hudson na África, em 1927, que demonstrou que a febre amarela era facilmente inoculável no Macacus Rhesus. Tal descoberta acabou por rejeitar a concepção etiológica estabelecida em 1919 por Noguchi. A nova descoberta dos pesquisadores, as epidemias e a rejeição da teoria de Noguchi geraram uma enorme desconfiança na época, dando a sensação de que nada era seguro em assuntos relacionados à febre amarela, despertando uma crise nos estudos da doença. Esta pesquisa assume a responsabilidade de fazer um estudo comparativo a partir da ciência, da política e da técnica que ambos os países usaram no combate à doença, com intuito de conhecer as experiências desenvolvidas com o fenômeno da febre amarela. Assim, a dissertação tem dois objetivos principais. Primeiro, analisar o processo histórico da febre amarela, a fim de entender a crise que predominou nos estudos da doença entre os anos de 1927 e 1930. Para isso iremos analisar os múltiplos atores locais, nacionais e internacionais no domínio teórico e técnico da doença, durante a epidemia de febre amarela no Rio de Janeiro, em 1928-29, e em Socorro, em 1929. O segundo objetivo é analisar as manifestações científicas contra o avanço da febre amarela no Brasil e na Colômbia, a partir das duas últimas grandes epidemias registradas no Rio de Janeiro (1928-1929) e em Socorro (1929), através das tensões entre o ideal de uma ciência médica universal, representada pela Fundação Rockefeller e pelas Conferências Pan-Americanas, e as práticas de saúde pública, representadas por médicos e pesquisadores, elaboradas localmente para minimizar o alcance da febre amarela no período de 1930 a 1948
Abstract: In 1927 the fight against yellow fever seemed to have concluded in American continent. In the first half of the twentieth century, a philanthropic American organization had as primary goal the fight against that outbreak (The Rockefeller Foundation) and, they ensured that epidemic was almost completely eradicated in that time. Nonetheless, two yellow fever outbreaks recorded in Rio de Janeiro in 1928 (Brazil) and Socorro in 1929 (Colombia) put in doubt the prophylactic measures recommended and implemented by the National Agencies of Public Health and the Rockefeller Foundation. This later institution took part in the fight against the disease in both countries. A controversy was established, while those epidemics took place in both countries, due to the discovery made by Stokes, Bauer e Hudson in Africa in 1927, which demonstrated Macacus Rhesus could be easily inoculated with the virus of yellow fever. That discovery eventually rejected the etiological agent theory established by Noguchi in 1919. In this fashion, with the new discovery, the epidemics and the rejecting of Noguchi's theory, a huge distrust grew up in those days, giving the impression that nothing was safe in issues related to yellow fever, and generating a crisis in studies of disease. Therefore, a comparative study from science, policy and technical that both Colombia and Brazil used in fighting against disease is carried out in this research in order to know the experiences developed with the yellow fever. In this manner, this dissertation has two mains objectives. First, the historical process of yellow fever will be analyzed by this research to understand the crisis that prevailed in studies of that disease between 1927 and 1930. For this reason, the multiple local actors, national and international in theoretical and technical field of the disease were analyzed during yellow fever outbreak in 1928-29 in Rio de Janeiro and in 1929 in Socorro. Second, several scientific manifestations against the progress of yellow fever in Brazil and Colombia were also studied from the last two major epidemics recorded in Rio de Janeiro (1928-1929) and Socorro (1929). Thus, controversies between an ideal of universal medical science represented by Rockefeller Foundation and Pan-American Conference, and the local public health practices developed to minimize the propagation of yellow fever in the period between 1930 and 1948

Sabe-se que as epidemias mudaram o cotidiano das populações trazendo o medo da morte como companheira de milhares de indivíduos em várias Províncias do Brasil na segunda metade do século XIX. Assim, um conjunto de ações dos governos das províncias tendo como protagonistas os médicos higienistas foram ampliados através das Juntas de Higiene Pública que buscavam operar visitas às embarcações, aos mercados, armazéns, casas e em todos os espaços, e estabelecimentos que pudessem provocar danos à saúde pública na concepção de tais homens da ciência. Neste sentido este estudo intitulado: A ordem médica sobre o alagadiço: Higienismo e Epidemias na Alagoas Imperial (1850-1882) têm como objetivo compreender o impacto causado pelas epidemias na Província de Alagoas na segunda metade do século XIX, e as principais ações dos médicos sanitaristas, em meio aos surtos epidemiológicos, como também as mudanças nos costumes propostas pelo pensamento médico neste período.

The archive of the Hospital has been the main information source. Between 1900 and 1936 the Hospital experiences a great development. 58% of patients are from the City followed by those from the mining zone (19%). A negative correlation was observed between admissions and average length of inpatient hospital stay. Most frequent diseases: digestive system (21%), respiratory system (15%), cardiovascular system (10%) and genitourinary system (9%). Most frequent infect-contagious diseases: tuberculosis (20%), diphtheria (19%), malaria (17%), syphilis (16%), typhoid fever (4%) and smallpox (3%). The main zone affected by malaria is the wetland area called “El Hondón”. A negative correlation was observed between bread and meat consumption per hospital stay and average length of stay. Most common emergencies are wounds (59%), osteoarticular traumatisms (24.3%), burns (3.3) and foreign bodies (2.6%).

Full textDuring the Years of 1889 and 1890, a swift epidemic outbrake stroke the city of Campinas. Even though some physicians argued that it was in fact the \"dreaded\" Yellow Fever, many doctors disagreed, assuming it was just one of the many other illnesses that had previously hunted the town. By the year of 1890, the disease was back in the hospitals and in the medical agenda. Even considering that the epidemics that fell upon Campinas in the course of those years were endeed Yellow Fever outbrakes, these opposing diagnostics clearly show that some aspects of this condition were still unknown to the medical community. They also suggest that, contrary to what the majority of the bibliography concearning Campinas\'s history states, the medical community of that area wasn\'t always able to overcome personal issues in favor of the erradication of this disease. The topic of the Yellow fever outbrake in Campinas has never been sufficiently explored by historians. In the few cases where that happened, the narratives exlusively focus on the medical and hygienical efforts to overcome the epidemic burst of the fever in the city, prevailing the image and accomplishes of some specific characters. Therefore, instead of seeing this through tradicional angles, considering just the approved measures taken back then to fight the disease, it\'s more in our interest to explore what perceptions these physicians had about this particular ilness and, more importantly, how these perceptions defined their medical practice.

This research aims to understand the sort of experiences lived by the population of “Baixo Jaguaribe” region, state of Ceará, during the epidemics of malaria through 1937 until 1940. The adversities and the cultural permanency and changes the swampy plague brought to the routine of that region were analyzed. Such interferences originate a crisis in the local economy, once the time dedicated to laboring submitted itself to the intervals that the disease’s peak had not appeared. Sometimes the disease reached all the members of one single family, thereupon many crops were lost and also a lot of work to be done in the field (cultivated with carnaubas, cotton) and in the pasture were left behind. Due to the plague, some funeral rituais changed: people did not follow funerals and did not attend to the death-watch, the churches’ bell did not toll to announce deaths in the community and, besides all this, the priests were not able to attend all the moribund requests to “extrema-unção”. The whole set of explications to the process of eradication of the plague were highlighted in this research. Thus, swampy plague was understood beyond its pathologic aspect, referring to it as a component responsible for a complete social disorganization process. Therefore, as the option to study the epidemics of malaria was set, a complex network that embodies feelings as well as experiences lived by the people caught by the plague was found.
Esta pesquisa busca interpretar as diversas experiências vivenciadas pela população do Baixo Jaguaribe Ceará, durante a epidemia de malária ao longo dos anos de 1937 a 1940. Serão analisadas as adversidades, mudanças e permanências culturais que a peste palustre trazia para o dia-a-dia da região. Tais interferências originaram uma crise na economia local, uma vez que o tempo do trabalho ficou submetido aos intervalos em que os acessos da doença não se manifestavam. Muitas safras, então, ficaram perdidas e muito trabalho por ser realizado nas roças, nos carnaubais, nos pastos, nos algodoeiros, dentre outros, pois, em muitas residências, a doença se manifestou em todos os membros de uma mesma família. A incidência da malária também ocasionou mudanças nos rituais fúnebres: as pessoas não acompanhavam os enterros, evitavam freqüentar as sentinelas, os sinos das igrejas não badalavam anunciando as mortes e, para além destas, os padres da região não conseguiam dar conta dos pedidos de extrema-unção aos moribundos. Serão ressaltadas também as diversas explicações para o processo de erradicação da doença. Portanto, busca compreender a peste palustre para além do seu caráter patológico, classificando-a como elemento responsável por todo um processo de desorganização social. Dessa forma, ao optar por estudar a epidemia de malária, acabamos por tecer uma teia que envolve tanto os sentimentos, como as experiências vivenciadas pelas pessoas atingidas pela mazela.

Obrigados a enfrentar uma grave crise epidêmica desencadeada ao longo de quase toda a segunda metade do século XIX, os habitantes de Belém assistem, a partir daquele momento, a uma intensa mobilização social em prol da preservação da saúde pública, que há muito deixara de ser objeto de interesse do Governo Provincial e que agora se via ameaçada pela fúria da febre amarela, da cólera e da varíola, que vinham desordenadamente fazendo suas vítimas pela cidade. Diante disso, esta dissertação procura analisar alguns mecanismos empregados para conter o aumento dos casos das doenças na Capital da Província do Pará, destacando as estratégias sanitárias propostas pelos facultativos ligados à ciência médica, levadas a cabo, muitas vezes sem resultado, pelo poder público, mas que interferiram e modificaram significativamente as práticas de assistência aos enfermos mais necessitados, que geralmente eram socorridos em nome da caridade no Hospital da Santa Casa de Misericórdia. A falta de conhecimento sobre a etiologia das moléstias trouxe à tona ainda um acirrado conflito ideológico entre os médicos, que divergiam quanto aos possíveis fatores que motivaram as epidemias e o tipo de terapêutica a ser aplicada aos doentes, ao mesmo tempo em que o perigo da contaminação aguçou também a “compaixão” e a “caridade” de todos que se viram direta ou indiretamente ameaçados por aqueles males.
Forced to face a serious epidemic crisis that started nearly throughout the second half of the XIX century, the inhabitants of Belém witness, from that moment on, an intense social mobilization that sought to preserve public health in the city. Public health had long ceased being object of interest to the “governo provincial” and now felt the rage of yellow fever, cholera and chickenpox which were erratically making victims around town. Based on these factos this paper seeks to analize some ways used to contain the spread of cases of these cliseases in the capital of the “Província do Pará”, by stressing the sanitary strategies put fort by the people connected to medical science. Such strategies, in most cases carried out by public administration, did not yield worthwhile results; but they interfered with and significatly modified the ways of providing assistance to the most needy patients who were in general helped in the name of charity at the “Santa Casa de Misericórdia” Hospital. The lack of knowledge concerning the etiology of those diseases brought up an even bitterer ideology conflict among medical doctors who disagreed about the possible sources of the epidemic and about the kind of therapeutic methods to be provided to patients at the same time that the risk of contamination also increased “compassion” and “charity” of al who had been direct or indirectly threatened by those diseases.

Full textThe beginning of this research lies at the wish of understanding the relation among the population from the region of Seridó, the death and the dead when cholera morbus, smallpox and yellow fever‟s epidemic outbreak exterminated part of the population from that region, causing deep modifications in the funeral culture. Thus, our aim is to analyze how this epidemic impact contributed to a changing action towards people‟s funeral habits and attitudes concerning death and the dead in Seridó as from 1850. During the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, the attitudes of the inhabitants from the Province of Rio Grande do Norte regarding life‟s finite limit were based on the familiarity between the living and the dead, which led to a relation characterized by rituals after the death and the burial inside churches. This procedure was largely used by the Catholic Christians and it allowed a close contact between the dead and the living because when the congregation was inside the church they would walk around, sit and pray on the grave. The impact of the epidemic was fundamental to change the funeral culture. The diseases were responsible for a high mortality rate and consequently the burial inside the churches turned out being unfeasible because there was no time enough to the bodies‟ decomposition. As a result, the hygienist discourse that, under European influence, struggled against the ad sanctos burial was enhanced in order to prevent from other diseases and in favor of public hygiene. Under this perspective, a secularizing process takes place in Seridó, alike other Brazilian regions such as in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It is this process we want to comprehend, based on official documents produced by the Presidents of the Province and Municipal Counties, wills and parochial obituary registers, besides visual resources like ground plans, photographs and videos, so that the secularized cemeteries of the region are analyzed.
Esta pesquisa surgiu a partir do desejo de compreender a relação que a população do Seridó manteve com a morte e com os mortos no momento em que os surtos epidêmicos de cólera-morbo, varíola e febre amarela grassaram na região, provocando modificações na cultura fúnebre. Assim, nosso objetivo é analisar como o impacto dessas epidemias, que atingiram esse espaço a partir de 1850, contribuiu para a ação transformadora sobre os costumes fúnebres e as atitudes da população para com a morte e os mortos. As atitudes dos habitantes da capitania do Rio Grande do Norte quanta à finitude da vida tinham como eixo central, durante toda a extensão do século XVIII e a primeira metade do século XIX, a familiaridade entre vivos e mortos, relação definida pelos rituais efetivados no momento pós-morte e pelas inumações no interior das igrejas. Essas inumações, utilizadas pelos cristãos católicos, permitiam o contato direto entre vivos e mortos: os fiéis que frequentavam as igrejas passavam, sentavam-se e faziam suas orações sobre as sepulturas. O impacto das epidemias nas transformações na cultura funerária foi fundamental. As doenças provocavam alto índice de mortalidade, tornando inviável o enterramento no interior das igrejas, uma vez que não havia tempo suficiente para a total decomposição dos corpos. Logo, constituíram-se em um dos elementos catalisadores do discurso higienista, que há tempos lutava, sob influência europeia, contra o enterramento ad sanctos, com base na prevenção de males e a favor da higienização pública. Dentro dessa conjuntura, o Seridó, a exemplo de outras regiões brasileiras, como São Paulo e o Rio de Janeiro, iniciou o processo de secularização da morte. É esse processo que pretendemos compreender, tendo como base o uso de documentação oficial produzida pelos Presidentes de Província e os de Comarcas Municipais, testamentos e registros paroquiais de óbito, além de recursos visuais, como plantas baixas, fotografias e vídeos, para análise dos cemitérios secularizados da região.

Full textThis thesis aims to show how and why Brazil developed its internationally acclaimed model for fighting Aids. This model is based on Latin America s pioneer program, created in the Brazilian state of São Paulo in 1983, two years after the epidemic officially began in the United States. Based on reports by doctors and other healthcare professionals who started the São Paulo program, this study aims to present the ethical, political, and scientific references that gave rise to the Brazilian model for fighting AIDS and to show how these references have influenced the majority of public positions adopted in Brazil. The reports and complimentary research have shown how the ideas of the sanitary reform movement of the 1980s influenced the São Paulo program for fighting AIDS. This movement proposed the expansion and improvement of health coverage in Brazil, and, above all, an increase of public participation in matters related to health and illness. Given the period of history in which the epidemic appeared, in São Paulo it was possible to carry out a constructive dialogue between medicine and society, that is to say, between the creation of knowledge and the application of knowledge. Should this dialogue be furthered, it can serve as a tool to evaluate the role of science in the politics of health, and vice-versa, thus incorporating important social considerations into the scientific process of identifying options and making decisions. In this thesis, we aim to follow the methodology of the Simão Mathias Center / History of Science Post-Graduation Studies Program (Cesima/PEPGHC) of PUCSP. According to this methodology, the History of Science represents an opportunity to reflect upon and give context to multiple areas of knowledge today Natural Sciences and Human Sciences among them. Considering that the interests of these two areas have become more integrated, we have been able to explore aspects formerly neglected by Science History, such as the various institutions that intermediate between knowledge and society with the goal of showing how knowledge is produced, organized, and measured
A presente tese pretende mostrar como e por que o Brasil desenvolveu um modelo de combate à Aids elogiado internacionalmente a partir do programa pioneiro na América Latina, criado no Estado de São Paulo em 1983, dois anos depois do início oficial da epidemia nos Estados Unidos. A partir do relato dos médicos e de outros profissionais de saúde que deram início ao programa em São Paulo, o estudo pretende apontar os referenciais éticos, políticos e científicos que deram origem ao modelo brasileiro de combate à Aids e como esses referenciais influenciaram a maioria das posições públicas assumidas pelo país. Esses relatos e as pesquisas complementares apontam para a influência das idéias do movimento da reforma sanitária, em andamento na década de 1980, no programa de Aids desenvolvido em São Paulo. O movimento propunha a expansão e melhoria da cobertura de saúde no país, mas principalmente uma ampliação do espaço de participação popular nas questões ligadas à saúde e doença. Em São Paulo, devido ao momento histórico em que a epidemia começou a se manifestar, foi possível realizar um diálogo profícuo entre medicina e sociedade, entre produção de conhecimento e sua aplicação. Esse diálogo, se for levado adiante, pode servir para avaliar o papel da ciência na política de saúde e, vice-versa, para a incorporação de importantes aspectos sociais no processo de opções e decisões em ciência. Para essa tese, procuramos seguir a metodologia do Centro Simão Mathias/Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em História da Ciência (Cesima/PEPGHC) da PUCSP, segundo a qual a História da Ciência representa hoje um espaço de reflexão e contextualização de múltiplas áreas do conhecimento, entre elas tanto as Ciências Naturais como as Humanas. Como as preocupações desses dois campos se tornaram mais integradas, foi possível explorar aspectos antes negligenciados da História da Ciência, como as várias instituições que fazem a mediação entre conhecimento e sociedade com o objetivo de mostrar como o conhecimento é produzido, organizado e dimensionado

Full textResearch on the Spanish flu in Goiás aimed to understand the impacts and meanings which accounted for the population. We analyze its symptoms Spanish flu, as well as highlight the imprecision of medicine to define and characterize it, the multiple symptoms diagnosed and the variety of treatments and therapeutic measures. For this, the research is anchored in the records of the press Goiás, in the context of 1918/1919 were lodged with the population and called Advice to people: that is, they were indications of health authorities to combat the Spanish flu. More than a biological problem, the Spanish flu became a social problem, and as such has been analyzed here, from its social representation - ie, the disease constituted a problem that requires an explanation by the company attacked, it is imperative that has a social and cultural. Historicize diseases is one of the ways to understand a society.
A pesquisa sobre a gripe espanhola em Goiás teve como principal objetivo compreender os impactos e os significados que representou para a população. Buscamos analisar a sintomatologia da doença de gripe espanhola, bem como ressaltar a imprecisão da medicina ao defini-la e caracterizá-la, os múltiplos sintomas diagnosticados e a variedade de tratamentos e medidas terapêuticas. Para tanto, a pesquisa ancorou-se nos registros da imprensa goiana, que, no contexto de 1918/1919, foram dirigidos à população e denominados Conselhos ao povo;ou seja, eram indicações das autoridades sanitárias para o combate da gripe espanhola. Mais que um problema biológico, a gripe espanhola se tornou um problema social, e como tal foi aqui analisada, a partir da sua representação social ou seja, a doença constituiu-se um problema que exige uma explicação pela sociedade atacada; é imperativo que tenha sentido social e cultural. Historicizar as doenças é um dos caminhos para se compreender uma sociedade.
