RESUMO
Analisa dois aspectos referentes à varíola em Goiás. Um se refere à reconstituição histórica dos principais surtos no estado, nos séculos XIX e nas três primeiras décadas do XX, focalizando o aumento dos surtos epidêmicos da doença como consequência da modernização dos meios de transportes e do crescimento demográfico. O outro centra-se na resistência da população goiana do século XIX à vacina antivariólica, que pode ser compreendida num quadro mais amplo de resistência às medidas civilizadoras implantadas pelo Estado em Goiás. Em termos metodológicos, o artigo considera a varíola evento hermenêutico, procurando situá-la na proposta de normatização higiênica pretendida pelos administradores públicos, então em choque com os valores e atitudes da população local.
ABSTRACT
An analysis is made of two aspects of smallpox in the Brazilian state of Goiás. One is a historical reconstruction of the main outbreaks in the state in the nineteenth century and the first three decades of the twentieth century, focusing on the increased number of epidemics of the disease as transportation was modernized and the population grew. The other concerns the people's resistance in the nineteenth century to the smallpox vaccine, which may be understood in a broader context of resistance to the modernizations introduced by the State in Goiás. According to the methodology used, smallpox is regarded as a hermeneutic event within the broader efforts to standardize public health made by the public authorities, which ran counter to the local people's values and attitudes.
