Controvérsias em torno das práticas e terapias de cura

The work focuses on the controversy following the event of the epidemic of choleramorbus triggered in the province of Pernambuco in the year 1855, around practices and therapies that have been mobilized to fight the disease.The guiding thread of the analysis are the shocks that have been established between academic medicine and other therapeutic methods -particularly of homeopaths, lay people, blacks and indians.Additionally, the work searches points of intersection between the emergence of a modern project of medicine and religion, accompanying the reflection and practice produced by italian capuchin missionaries on the epidemic
