    Abstract Ainda hoje estima-se que na América Latina aproximadamente 13 milhões de pessoas desconheçam estarem infectadas e sobrevivendo com o vetor da doença de Chagas, de acordo com a ONG Médicos Sem Fronteiras. Embora o Brasil tenha sido considerado livre da transmissão pela principal espécie de vetor em 2006, pela OMS, é importante que novas gerações de estudantes das áreas da saúde coletiva possam conhecer o processo histórico e o percurso pelo qual a descoberta científica pôde ser identificada, reconhecida e legitimada pela comunidade médico-científica como doença. O livro em questão analisa o processo de transformação da doença de Chagas em doença e reconstrói a trajetória de Carlos Chagas e seus estudos sobre a enfermidade. Tem por objetivo, nas palavras da autora, "refletir sobre a dimensão histórica e social desse processo, no qual este fato científico foi sendo produzido e validado em estreita relação com vários grupos e esferas da vida social brasileira". A obra conjuga história social da medicina, história social da ciência e do pensamento social brasileiro, uma vez que a própria caracterização da doença de Chagas foi, ao longo de boa parte do século XX, associada à imagem do Brasil

    Abstract Approaching from the perspective of the history and social studies of science, the article analyses some aspects of the early history of Chagas disease, from its discovery through initial research. It is our goal to show that historians of science can explore this topic as a way not only of remembering and narrating past events but also of examining the processes through which science is produced. To this end, we present five basic precepts that have guided historical and sociological studies of "science in action": science as a collective endeavor, as a social activity, as a set of practices, as a process that involves controversies, and as a formative process. By examining the topic in the light of these five points, we demonstrate how the history of this successful research tradition can lead us to broader reflections about the complex dynamics interweaving science and society.

    Title translation Rural endemic diseases, health and development: Emmanuel Dias and the construction of a network of allies against Chagas disease.
    Abstract The scope of this article is to analyze the trajectory of Emmanuel Dias (1908-1962), a researcher at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (OCI) and director of the Center for Studies and Prophylaxis of Chagas Disease (OCI outpost established in 1943 in the city of Bambuí, Minas Gerais), as a key actor in the acknowledgement of Chagas disease as a public health problem in Brazil and the Americas. It seeks to show that the conquest of this acknowledgement, the cornerstone of which was the staging of the first campaign to combat the disease in Brazil in 1950, was made possible by the intense political mobilization of Dias together with the various social groups, such as physicians, politicians and residents of rural areas, public health officials, governments and international organizations. This mobilization occurred during the 1940s and 1950s in a historical context marked by intense debate about the relationship between health and development and helped to construct a network of alliances that was critical for the recognition of Chagas disease as a chronic cardiopathy, which threatened the productivity of rural workers and represented a medical and social problem that merited public health actions and programs geared to get it under control.

    Title translation Carlos Chagas and the debates and controversies surrounding the disease of Brazil (1909-1923).
    Abstract The article explores the relation between the debate on Chagas' disease, discovered in 1909, and Brazil's 1916-1920 rural sanitation campaign. It argues that the political planks of the sanitary movement were intimately bound up with the definition and legitimization of this illness as a scientific fact and social issue. Presented as emblematic of rural endemic disease, this 'new tropical ailment' was characterized as 'the disease of Brazil', symbol of a 'sickly country'. The sanitary campaign was in turn a decisive element of the 1919-1923 polemic surrounding the disease. This is an exemplary case of how Brazilian scientists used theories from European tropical medicine to produce original knowledge in the field, basing themselves on meanings specific to the national context of their day.

    Abstract This article analyzes the discovery of Chagas disease and the parasite that causes it (Trypanosoma cruzi) by Carlos Chagas in 1908/1909, with a special focus on the scientific and social context in which this occurred. Its inclusion in the international debate on European tropical medicine--especially with researchers from the German school of protozoology--and its connection with discussions on the modernization of the recently established Brazilian Republic are also examined. The discovery of Chagas disease became a decisive aspect in the scientific project that Oswaldo Cruz sought to establish at the institute that bears his name. It was extolled as a symbol of Brazil's scientific ability t produce knowledge in line with the international scientific agenda, while simultaneously being attuned to the specific problems of the country.

    Abstract It is well documented that Chagas disease (CD) can pose a public health problem to countries. As one of the World Health Organization Neglected Tropical Diseases undoubtedly calls for comprehensive healthcare, transcending a restricted biomedical approach. After more than a century since their discovery, in 1909, people affected by CD are still frequently marginalised and/or neglected. The aim of this article is to tell the story of their activism, highlighting key historical experiences and successful initiatives, from 1909 to 2019. The first association was created in 1987, in the city of Recife, Brazil. So far, thirty associations have been reported on five continents. They were created as independent non-profit civil society organisations and run democratically by affected people. Among the common associations' objectives, we notably find: increase the visibility of the affected; make their voice heard; build bridges between patients, health system professionals, public health officials, policy makers and the academic and scientific communities. The International Federation of Associations of People Affected by CD - FINDECHAGAS, created in 2010 with the input of the Americas, Europe and the Western Pacific, counts as one of the main responses to the globalisation of CD. Despite all the obstacles and difficulties encountered, the Federation has thrived, grown, and matured. As a result of this mobilisation along with the support of many national and international partners, in May 2019 the 72nd World Health Assembly decided to establish World Chagas Disease Day, on 14 April. The associative movement has increased the understanding of the challenges related to the disease and breaks the silence around Chagas disease, improving surveillance, and sustaining engagement towards the United Nations 2030 agenda.

    Abstract Este trabalho pretende desenvolver uma análise comparativa entre as concepções de Robert Merton e Thomas Kuhn a respeito da natureza social da ciência. Uma aproximação entre as perspectivas desses autores pode ser traçada em função da importância que ambos atribuem à questão da adesão a valores como um elemento fundamental para a compreensão da atividade científica. Conferindo centralidade à noção de comunidade científica, convergem para a análise da ciência como prática que se define a partir de um conjunto de crenças, princípios e normas compartilhados por uma determinada coletividade. Ainda que apontando algumas diferenças substantivas entre as perspectivas em questão - como as maneiras distintas pelas quais esses autores concebem o sentido de ?social? na ciência - este contraponto entre Merton e Kuhn pretende destacar a relevância de se considerar as crenças e os valores institucionalizados como uma dimensão essencial a orientar as ações concretas dos cientistas.

    Abstract The objective of this study is to reflect on the institutionalization of biotechnology in Brazil, relating it to the historical and institutional context marked by the national science and technology policy implemented since the 1970s. We focus on the configuration of biotechnology at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ) to exemplify developing countries' difficulty in disseminating an innovation model based on networks originally established in developed countries. The research shows that the lag between scientific capability and technological development at FIOCRUZ resulted from the institutional dynamic related to its process of reconstruction beginning in 1975, governed by both S&T policy and health policy for the production of immunobiological products in the country during that period.
