Accepted Paper
Health, sexuality and urban spaces: the control of syphilis in two Brazilian port cities
Sergio Carrara
(University of the State of Rio de Janeiro - UERJ)
Paper short abstract
This paper will address the experiences of public health intervention and control of prostitution developed in Brazil between the end of the 19th century and 1940, as part of anti-venereal state policies. Drawing from the cases of Rio de Janeiro and Belem (Pará), I will analyze the development of an original model of intervention neither based on prohibition, as in the US, not on regularization of prostitution, as in France, and discuss its impact on urban spaces.
