| Summary: |
This paper seeks to set out the process by which national elites made major efforts
to the hygiene apparatus in Colombia a responsibility of the national state. The
motivations behind this were a mix of racial, medical and social reasons. During
this period, Colombian doctors, thanks to a racial ideology, built a pro-hygiene
narrative in which they argued for the importance of institutionalizing the hygiene
apparatus. The paper�s analysis is based upon legislation, reports to the National
Congress and medical conferences. The sources have been studied from the perspective
of discourse analysis. |
