description The purpose of this article is to analyze ideas, definitions and practices linked to the “emergence” of rehabilitation in Argentina in the mid-20th century. Drawing on primary sources, we analyze conceptions about the medical and social problem of rehabilitating the “cripple,” and its presence on the public agenda between 1940 and 1960. Our results show that poliomyelitis epidemics were a significant factor in placing strain on the scope and contents of both social protection for people with disabilities and modernization projects related to rehabilitation, while forming the basis for subsequent developments in this field.

Un análisis sociohistórico Testa, Daniela Edelvis The purpose of this article is to analyze ideas, definitions and practices linked to the “emergence” of rehabilitation in Argentina in the mid-20th century. Drawing on primary sources, we analyze conceptions about the medical and social problem of rehabilitating the “cripple,” and its presence on the public agenda between 1940 and 1960.

El propósito de este artículo es analizar ideas, definiciones y prácticas vinculadas al «surgimiento» de la rehabilitación en la Argentina, a mediados del siglo XX. A partir de fuentes primarias, se analizan las concepciones sobre el problema médico y social de la rehabilitación del «lisiado» y su presencia en la agenda pública entre 1940 y 1960. Los resultados muestran que las epidemias de poliomielitis fueron un factor significativo que tensionó los alcances y contenidos de la protección social de las personas con discapacidad y de los proyectos de modernización de la rehabilitación, al tiempo que conformó las bases de posteriores desarrollos en dicho campo. 2018-08-29 2022-03-17T18:48:20Z 2022-03-17T18:48:20Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/919 10.21678/apuntes.83.919 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53141 spa eng https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/919/1092 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/919/1105 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/919/1120 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/919/1142 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf text/html application/pdf text/html Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
