RESUMEN
A fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX las enfermedades venéreas despertaron especial atención en los discursos médicos, periodísticos y políticos. Las normativas municipales en torno a la cuestión de la prostitución y a un conjunto de problemas propios de ciudades, que como Rosario sufrieron un proceso de modernización brusca, daban cuenta de lo mencionado. La prostitución aparecía vinculada en las representaciones epocales con las enfermedades venéreas, en especial, la sífilis y la blenorragia, caracterizadas junto con el alcoholismo y la tuberculosis como algunos de los grandes males sociales evitables. La prostitución era percibida como el principal foco de difusión de éstas. En este trabajos analizamos discursos sobre las enfermedades venéreas, "secretas", como también se las conocía por entonces, los miedos que despertaban y algunas prácticas profilácticas desplegadas a los efectos de proteger los cuerpos individuales y el cuerpo social de la ciudad en el período de vigencia del sistema de prostitución reglamentada en Rosario (1874-1932) (AU)
ABSTRACT
In late 19th and early 20th century venereal diseases received special attention in the medical, journalistic and political speeches. Local regulations regarding the issue of prostitution and the tipical problems of cities which, like Rosario, underwent a process of sudden modernization, accounted for this special attention. Prostitution appeared in epochal representations associated with venereal diseases, especially syphilis and gonorrhea, witch, together with alcoholism and tuberculosis, were characterized as some of the major preventable social ills. Prostitution was perceived as the main source of sexually transmitted infections. In this work we analyze discourses on venereal diseases also called "secret" at that time; we also analyse the fears these instilled in society and the prophylactic practices adopted to protect the individual bodies and the social body of the city when the regulated prostitution system was in force in Rosario (1874-1932) (AU)
