Do exército de sombras ao soldado-cidadão': saúde, recrutamento militar e identidade nacional na revista nação armada (1939-1947) / From the army of shadows to the citizen soldier: health, military conscription and national identity in the revista nação armada (1939-1947)

A presente pesquisa aborda a importância do tema da saúde no discurso dos militares brasileiros (mais especificamente do Exército) a respeito da construção de uma identidade nacional no período do Estado Novo (1937-1945), com particular ênfase aos anos relativos à Segunda Guerra Mundial. Para isso, serão analisados os textos publicadosna revista Nação Armada, revista civil-militar consagrada à segurança nacional, editada, com periodicidade mensal, entre novembro de 1939 e março de 1947. Buscou-se avaliar de que maneira a concepção destes militares sobre os problemas sanitários do país (particularmente no âmbito das Forças Armadas), e sobre as intervenções necessárias à sua solução, foi central para a afirmação e a legitimação do papel do Exército como força política e ideológica decisiva para o projeto de “regeneração” do “povo brasileiro” e de elaboração de uma “nova nação” naquele período do primeiro governo do Presidente Getúlio Vargas. Dentre os temas abordados pela revista, as questões relacionadas à saúde estavam, em particular, associadas à questão do recrutamento militar, que ganhou especial visibilidade e importância no contexto do conflito mundial. Preconizando os valores e práticas da higiene, da educação física e da eugenia como elementos fundamentais para a conformação de um “soldado-cidadão”, “apto” a atuar não apenas na guerra, mas fundamentalmente como exemplo/modelo para o “novo homem brasileiro”, a análise dos discursos veiculados em Nação Armada proporciona a compreensão histórica dos significados e práticas que nortearam a afirmação pública dos militares como grupo encarregado e aparelhado para promover a “cura”, o “fortalecimento” e o“engrandecimento” da nação de acordo com os preceitos ideológicos firmados pelo regime estadonovista.

This research addresses the importance of health as a theme in the publicdiscourse of military leaders in Brazil (especially those of the Army) with respect to the construction of a national identity during the Estado Novo period (1937-1945), with particular emphasis on the years during the Second World War. In pursuit of this theme, texts published in Nação Armada, revista civil-militar consagrada à segurança nacional (November 1939 to March 1947), are analyzed. An analysis is undertaken ofthe ways that military officers’ notions of national health issues (particularly as found in their soldiers), and also their belief in a need for interventions was crucial for the affirmation and legitimization of the Army as a political and ideological force decisive in the project towards “regeneration” of the Brazilian people and towards theelaboration of a “new nation” during Getúlio Vargas’s first term as president. Among the themes tackled by the magazine, those concerning public health were particularly focused on military recruitment, it being so visible and important during World War II.Extolling the value of good hygiene, physical fitness and even eugenics as fundamental to the making of any “citizen-soldier” as “qualified” to serve not only in war, but as an exemplary “New Brazilian Man,” the discourse promulgated in the Nação Armada is seen, in this analysis, as a means to historical comprehension of theideals and practices which shaped public approval of the Armed Forces as a group suitable and equipped to promote the “healing” and “strengthening” and “uplifting” ofthe republic in accord with the ideological assumptions of the “estadonovista” regime. Thus the present research aims to contribute to present-day historical inquiry into publichealth in Brazil during the first half of the 20th century in its several intersections with the debates in the political and social life in Brazil.

Experiencias aportadas por los médicos militares cubanos en las guerras por la independencia del siglo XIX / Experience contributed by the Cuban military physicians during the independence wars in the 19th century

Se exponen algunas experiencias de la organización de la Sanidad Militar y del ejercicio de la medicina militar cubana en el siglo XIX. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para la obtención de los datos. Se pone de manifiesto cómo los cubanos en las guerras contra el colonialismo español establecieron las bases reglamentarias para la Sanidad Militar. En la Guerra de los Diez Años (1868-1878) no se logró una óptima organización de la Sanidad Militar, pero las experiencias alcanzadas fueron el cimiento para la creación del Cuerpo de Sanidad Militar en la Guerra del 95. La labor de los cirujanos cubanos en la Guerra del 95 fue testimoniada con rigor científico por el Coronel Médico Enrique Núñez de Villavicencio y Palomino, presentada en la Sociedad de Estudios Clínicos de La Habana y publicada en 1889 en los Archivos de la Sociedad de Estudios Clínicos de La Habana. Se puede afirmar que el meritorio desempeño de los cubanos en el ejercicio de la medicina en condiciones de campaña en las guerras por la independencia de Cuba en el siglo XIX ofrece interesantes experiencias para la medicina militar contemporánea.

Some experience about the organization of the military health system and the practice of military medicine in Cuba in the 19th century were presented. A literature review was made to collect data about this topic. The way in which the Cubans set the regulatory basis for the military health system during the independence wars was put forward. In the Ten-Year War 1868-1878, optimal organization of the military health system was not accomplished, but accumulated experience laid the foundations for the creation of the Military Health Corps in 1895 Independence War. The work of Cuban surgeons in this last war was scientifically documented by Medical Colonel Enrique Núñez de Villavicencio y Palomino, submitted to the Society of Clinical Studies in Havana and published in the Archives of the Society of Clinical Studies of Havana in 1889. It may be said that the meritorious performance of the Cuban physicians under the independence war conditions in the 19th century offer some interesting pieces of experience for the contemporary military medicine.

Prevalence of nimer, louse infestation among military education schools in Zarka, Jordan

This work aimed to study the prevalence and contributing factors of head lice among military education schoolchildren. To investigate the prevalence, all students [3020] in the military schools in Zarka were screened for head lice infestation. To study the contributing factors, structured questionnaires were filled out by the researchers for 266 students [126 who were infested and the rest were free from head lice]. The overall prevalence of head lice was 4.2% [126 of 3020]. The prevalence of pediculosis captious was significantly higher among secondary schoolchildren aged 15-18 years [5.2%] than primary schoolchildren [3.6%] and among school boys [6.3%] than secondary school girls [3.9%]. The prevalence was influenced by age, sex, family size, house occupancy and father's employment. Head lice can be considered a serious public heath problem among schoolchildren in Jordan. Control measures are badly needed

La Sanidad militar cubana y el derecho internacional humanitario / Cuban military health and the international humanitarian law

Este artículo pretende contribuir al conocimiento de las tradiciones humanitarias, éticas y patrióticas de los combatientes del Cuerpo de Sanidad Militar Mambisa durante la Guerra de los Diez Años y el Ejército Libertador como brazo armado-iniciador de la Revolución Cubana en 1868, los cuales respetaron siempre las leyes más universales relativas a la protección y el trato humano de los heridos, enfermos, prisioneros y población civil que estuvieron involucrados de una forma u otra en el conflicto armado entre el Gobierno de la República en Armas y el Régimen Colonial Español. Se realizó una investigación de carácter histórico para estudiar el surgimiento y desarrollo del Derecho Internacional Humanitario y la Sanidad Militar en Cuba en el contexto de la Guerra de los Diez Años a partir de la digna posición y manejo de la situación hecha por Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, Padre de la Patria. Se destacan los preceptos que han caracterizado a dichos principios del Derecho Internacional Humanitario desde la época inicial que marcó el nacimiento de la Nación Cubana. Se señala la necesidad de trasmitir estos valores y conocimientos a nuestros profesionales y alumnos de Medicina Militar con vistas a contribuir a la actual Batalla de Ideas
