| Resumo: | The article analyzes the circulation of ideas on the medicine of miasmas in the world of sugar mills between France, the Antilles, and Brazil in the 19th century. The choice of these spaces is justified by the dissemination of these ideals operated by the French physician and agronomist Jacques-François Dutrone La Couture (1749-1814) in order to understand the exchanges between knowledge and local culture between these regions. We evaluate the connection between knowledge linked to social medicine and sociability on sugar plantations, such as slavery and traditional knowledge, giving social medicine practices a view little explored by historiography. |
