RESUMO
Em pouco tempo o boom do café, a imigração europeia e a atlantização de diversos setores de vida transformaram São Paulo de um pequeno povoado em uma próspera metrópole atlântica. Nas primeiras décadas do século XX, observadores descreviam a cidade, por seu progresso e atividade, como Yankee City. De que forma a neurastenia, “a mais moderna e americana das doenças”, combina com essa imagem? Após a análise de anúncios, livros científicos e de divulgação da ciência, bem como de artigos em revistas, pode-se afirmar que a neurastenia era amplamente difundida e bastante comercializável. O presente trabalho enfatiza a relação sociocultural dos paulistanos com o fenômeno da neurastenia.
ABSTRACT
In a brief period of time the coffee boom, European immigration and the “atlanticization” of various sectors of life saw São Paulo transform from a small village into a thriving Atlantic metropolis. In the early decades of the twentieth century, observers described the city as Yankee City, due to its progress and activity. To what extent does neurasthenia, namely “the most modern and American of disorders”, tally with that image? After analysis of advertisements, scientific books and texts for the dissemination of science, as well as articles in journals, it can be stated that neurasthenia was prevalent and widespread. This work emphasizes the socio-cultural familiarity of São Paulo with the phenomenon of neurasthenia.
