Development, Epidemiology and Disease geographies: cervical cancer enactments in Latin America

Paper long abstract:

This paper makes a description of the uses of the epidemiological research and its representations in the production of cervical cancer as public health concern in the Global South, in particular in Latin America. I explore the role of national communities and international organizations in the production of data and its use in the production of the disease as an entity with a material existence, located and global at the same time. Moreover, I analyse the interference between technical and political discourse in the production of images of developing countries and Development, as well as, its consequences in the production of policies.
