The Northern Arizona History Dept. will present a very timely Latin American event about cholera epidemics in Argentina in the 19thCentury — “Medical Narratives, Popular Opinion, and Uncertainty: The Cholera Epidemics of 19th Century Argentina,” at 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 2.
During the nineteenth century, cholera impacted Argentina in a wave of epidemics like many other parts of the globe at the time. Although we now know much about the disease, for significant portions of the 1800’s, doctors, government officials, and society were uncertain over the numerous aspects of the disease: origin,contagion, and treatment. As a result, an assortment of opinions, theories, and conjectures all coexisted that often contradicted each other, and demonstrates the limitations of the “medicalization of society”.
