Abstract


In this paper I discuss the difficulties of generalize Ackerknecht’s opposition between infectionism and contagionism by analyzing the influence of early pasteurism in the discourses and sanitary practices. I show the ruptures and the continuities between classical hygiene and that which has been reorganized by microbiology. In this context, I analyze, like particular examples, some sanitary strategies to control lower classes housing proposed by the hygienists of Argentina and Brazil public hygiene.
