Abstract:

This article aims at dealing with three public health concerns of the nineteenth century in São Paulo to demonstrate that the major legislative milestones or important epidemics of the period – treated as decisive by historiography – had little or no importance on the social processes that boosted changes in places farthe capital. The three concerns in Sao Paulo that will be addressed are the prison, the cemetery, and the victuals (which involved the stores, the slaughterhouse, and the butchers). Since it is a very divergent reasoningwhat is now understood as public health, the article will start with a discussion about salubrity in the nineteenth century, and the anachronism present in the studies about it. Then, it will focus on the prison, which was a matter of first order regarding public health in the nineteenth century and even more so in São Paulo (and possibly all over Brazil), there was a great traffic between the interior of the prisons and the urban space. Soon after, the issue of cemeteries will be addressed, which also presented itself as a very important theme of public health, which, however, collided with the ecclesiastical power and therefore generated tension. And, finally, the topic of the products that was, in São Paulo, the item less in accordance with the modern health demands.
