RESUMO:
Hygiene and public health in Bahia, as an academic discipline and intervention object, respectively, are investigated and considered by the specialized literature as part of the events from the first half of the XIX century. Several interpretations on their meaning are elaborated and supported mainly on Foucault concepts on social medicine. However, a little attention has been provided to the institutionalization process, from the analysis of the existing relationships among the physicians involved with such production of knowledge and practices, which main reference was in Europe with the development of a hygienist movement, foremost the French one. This investigation, based on social-historical approach of Pierre Bourdieu, aimed at understanding the emergence of hygiene and public health in the nineteenth century Bahia, questioning the existence of a social space for relationships, implicated with population health issues. We sought from this theory, to understand the logic of the constitution of the medical, political and bureaucratic fields, which emerged in that period in Brazil and that were related to the investigated social space. The findings showed that the creation of the Salubrity Council and the beginning of the inaugural thesis of the medical school provided a space for debates and circulation of ideas from 1840 on. Even given that hygiene did not occupy a status of specialized knowledge, physicians from several areas got involved on the discussion and academic production, occupying some positions on government, towards to population health. In this analysis, two moments with distinct characteristics were identified. The first one, between 1840 and 1865, in which the bureaucratic field, by the salubrity council, and then the Hygiene commissions, was the great propeller for the debates and the approximation of the physicians to these issues. The second moment, from 1866 and 1889, highlighted a distinct dynamics on the medical and bureaucratic fields. On the one hand, there was an emptying of the govern participation, with the deactivation of the salubrity council. On the other hand, the category was already better organized by its own entities and by the “Gazeta Médica da Bahia” (Bahia Medical Gazette), which became the agglutinative microcosms of the debates on public health. However, in both periods, we did not find any elements allowing to characterize hygiene and health public as specific spaces for fights, involving agents from several education and work areas. The involvement with themes correlated to the hygiene discipline and the occupation of public offices was restrict to the medical field, involving the political and bureaucratic fields by the insertion of the physicians in both of them. The institutionalization of the actions underwent discontinuities and the preponderance of the political logic over the technical and scientific knowledge was the hindrance for the implementation of governmental actions. Thus, at Bahia, during the studied period, we noticed a development, distinct from the one observed in other countries in which the hygienist movement consolidated the knowledge production, the creation of specialized journals and, foremost, on the formulation of propositions towards to facing the population health issues.
