RESUMO
O artigo pretende analisar parte dos trabalhos do médico militar francês Mathieu François Maxime Audouard, que observara a epidemia de febre amarela em Barcelona em 1821. Audouard passaria a acusar o tráfico negreiro como principal causa da doença. Embora suas idéias fossem controversas e nem sempre aceitas pelos médicos de diferentes partes do mundo, elas apresentaram repercussão entre aqueles engajados no fim do tráfico e no movimento contra a escravidão da primeira metade do século XIX. Um caso de particular interesse para análise é a recepção de seus trabalhos no Brasil, frente ao momento de fim do tráfico negreiro no país, e a concomitância com a chegada da grande epidemia de febre amarela.
Cet article a pour objet l'analyse des travaux du médecin militaire français Maxime Mathieu François Audouard sur l'épidémie de fièvre jaune à Barcelone en 1821. Audouard accusait la traite négrière d'être une des principales causes de la maladie. Bien que ses idées étaient discutées et n'ont pas toujours été soutenues par les médecins de diverses parties du monde, elles ont été bien reçues par ceux qui s'engageaient pour la fin de la traite et par le mouvement anti-esclavagiste de la première moitié du XIXe siècle. La réception de ses travaux au Brésil au moment de la fin de la traite négrière et de l'irruption simultanée de la grande épidémie de fièvre jaune est un cas particulièrement intéressant pour notre analyse.
ABSTRACT
This article consists of an analysis written by the French military physician Mathieu François Maxime Audouard, who witnessed the epidemic of yellow fever in Barcelona, in 1821. Audouard held that the slave trade was the main cause of this malady. Although his ideas were controversial and not always accepted by doctors in different parts of the world, they had repercussions on those who supported the end of the slave trade and the movement against slavery in the first half of the 19th century. One particular case for analysis is the reception of his works in Brazil when the international slave trade was abolished in the country, a fact that occurred concomitantly with the outbreak of the great yellow fever epidemic.
