Abstract

In sick citizenship. On venéreas in Argentina, 1900-1960, Carolina Biernat offers us an immersive narrative about how care for sexual transmission patients was configured as a public health policy.

Its five chapters, “Imagine”, “Heal”, “Prevent”, “Juzgar” and “Aislar” analyze the individual and corporate logics that are intertwined in its design and management. The author reconstitutes the grammars of these interventions based on different documentary records: academic magazines, commercial press, debates and parliamentary projects, memoranda and publications of state offices and jurisprudence.
