De plantas y hombre: cómo los genetistas se vincularon a la eugenesia en Brasil (un estudio de caso 1929-1933) / Of plants and men: how geneticists were linked to eugenics in Brazil (1929-1933)

En el presente artículo pretendemos reflexionar sobre la trayectoria de Octávio Domingues (1897-1972) y Salvador Toledo Piza Jr. (1898-1988), dos genetistas de una escuela agrícola del Estado de São Paulo que se vincularon al principal propagador de la eugenesia en Brasil, Renato Kehl (1889-1974). Ese acercamiento se concretó en su asociación alrededor de la publicación del Boletim de Eugenia, importante vehículo de divulgación del movimiento eugenésico entre los años 1929 y 1933. A partir del análisis de esa publicación periódica, ha sido posible detectar que, aunque los dos partían de la teoría mendeliana de la herencia, Toledo Piza Jr. consideraba el mestizaje de la población brasileña como algo que iba en contra de la naturaleza, mientras que Octávio Domingues la juzgaba saludable (AU)

The aim of this article is to analyse the trajectory of Octávio Domingues (1897-1972) and Salvador de Toledo Piza Jr. (1898-1988), two geneticists in the Agricultural School of São Paulo State, who engaged with the main propagandist for the eugenics in Brazil, Renato Kehl (1889-1974). This approach is embodied in its association surrounding the publication of the Boletim de Eugenia, an important vehicle for the dissemination of the eugenics movement between the years 1929 and 1933. From the analysis of this journal, it was possible to detect that even sharing both Mendelian theory of heredity, Toledo Piza Jr. considered miscegenation of the Brazilian population as something against nature, while Octávio Domingues judged it healthy (AU)

Viva Mulher: constructing a cervical cancer control program in Brazil.

Through a number of isolated initiatives that began in the 1960s, Brazil accumulated knowledge and experience that in the late 1990s culminated in the implementation of the first nationwide public health action meant to coordinate health bodies and personnel from the federal, state, and municipal administrative levels to address a chronic degenerative disease. The main goal of this article is to analyze the process of construction of this public policy for cancer control in Brazil--more specifically, organized screening for the control of cervical cancer in the form of the Viva Mulher program. Our analytical approach relies on elements from the history of public policy and from the history of institutions, combining the use of documental sources, scientific literature, and interviews with managers involved in the process under study. Our analysis endeavors to show how and to what extent this national process incorporated the experiences of local projects and responded both to pressure from the social movement and to the country's political environment. It further shows how the new context, shaped by changes in the organization of the Brazilian health system, influenced this process.

Políticas públicas de controle de câncer no Brasil: elementos de uma trajetória / Public policies for cancer control in Brazil: elements of a trajectory

O artigo aborda a trajetória das políticas públicas para o controle do câncer no País entre os anos 1940 e o final dos anos 1980. Discute a criação do Serviço Nacional de Câncer, em 1942, seu perfil inicial e as questões que nortearam sua trajetória. Analisa as ações estatais contra a doença nos anos 1960 e a criação do Programa Nacional de Controle do Câncer, em 1974. A partir de uma perspectiva histórica, baseada na análise de documentos institucionais e de bibliografia especializada, buscou-se demonstrar a relação entre ampliação das políticas públicas nesta área, o desenvolvimento de uma nova comunidade médica ? os cancerologistas ? e as transformações sociopolíticas e econômicas ocorridas no País.

It examines the process that led to the creation of the National Cancer Service in 1942, the agency's initial paths and the issues that have guided its trajectory. It analyzes the state actions against the disease in the 1960s and the creation of the National Cancer Control Program, in 1974. From a historical perspective, based on analysis of institutional documents and relevant literature, the authors show the relation between the expansion of public policies in this area, the development of a new medical community ­ the oncologists ­ and sociopolitical and economic transformations in Brazil
