| Resumo: | This work aims to analyze how the construction and operation of the Leprosário São Francisco de
Assis, occurred between the years 1923 to 1941. Built in 1926 and officially inaugurated in 1929,
in an area distant six kilometers from the city, this space had the purpose of isolate all lepers
notified in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Leprosy, currently defined as a chronic and
bacteriological disease, during the 1920’s, part of the group of endemic diseases that were viewed
as a national problem and should be compulsorily notificated. The fight against leprosy, regulated
by Decree No. 16,300, on December 31, 1923, was carried out through the compulsory isolation
of patients in leprosarium or agricultural colonies. Following the national guideline, against the
leprosy, Rio Grande do Norte built the leprosário São Francisco de Assis. Directed by Doctor
Varela Santiago, this Leprosarium was built to offer patients a full life, with activities of work,
leisure and proper treatment. In view of these points I asked what are the reasons for the
construction of this isolation? How was this space structured physically? Who were your
inmates? What are the practices developed in this space? The present work is based on the
articulation of the History of Disease and the history of Space, so my objective is to investigate
the changes and permanences that occurred in the concrete space, the Leprosário São Francisco
de Assis, developed in the fight against leprosy. In order to respond to the proposed questions, I
used as a source: newspapers from 1920 to 1950, published in different cities such as: Rio de
Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife and Maranhão; Official documents, such as Decrees, Resolutions and
Message of Governors presented at the Legislative Assembly; Clinical documents present in the
archive of the Leprosário São Francisco de Assis. |
