Abstract in Portuguese
O artigo analisa a circulação de ideias da medicina dos miasmas no mundo dos engenhos entre a França, as Antilhas e o Brasil no século XIX. A escolha destes espaços justifica-se pela disseminação destes ideais operacionalizada pelo médico e agrônomo francês Jacques-François Dutrône La Couture (1749- 1814) objetivando assim compreender os intercâmbios entre conhecimentos e saberes entre estas regiões. Ponderamos sobre a conexão entre conhecimentos ligados à medicina social com as sociabilidades nas plantations açucareiras, como a escravidão e os saberes tradicionais, conferindo às práticas da medicina social um olhar pouco explorado pela historiografia.
Abstract
The article analyzes the circulation of ideas on the medicine of miasmas in the world of sugar mills between France, the Antilles and Brazil in the 19th century. The choice of these spaces is justified by the dissemination of these ideals operated by the French physician and agronomist Jacques-François Dutrone La Couture (1749-1814) in order to understand the exchanges between knowledge and local culture between these regions. We evaluate the connection between knowledge linked to social medicine and sociability on sugar plantations, such as slavery and traditional knowledge, giving social medicine practices a view little explored by historiography.
