UMA ANÁLISE ENUNCIATIVA DO DISCURSO MÉDICO DO SÉCULO XIX.

This work aims to analyze medical texts from 19th century. We take multifactorial historiography (Swiggers, 2020) and Émile Benveniste's Theory of Enunciation (Benveniste, 1989) as a theoretical framework. Based on the enunciative analysis the Health Manual, by Raspail (1860), we noticed a certain discursive organization. We conclude that, in Rio Grande do Sul, a discourse was built that elevates the French origin, whether of products or manuals of health, to the status of holder of power to say what is and is not "good" medicine.
