Resumo: | The studies of radioactivity and the consequent flourishing of the sciences and industries related to the production of radiations left a distinctive influence in Portuguese medicine of early twentieth century. In this article I examine the ways in which the biomedical concept of cancer that emerged in that period was in close connexion with the development of “radiations’ economy” sustained by the clinical and scientific uses of radioactivity. I argue that such economy was grounded on “cancer” and “radiations” concepts and that both of these were constituted as a boundary objects that were capable of supporting (in the Portuguese context) a new institutional ecology of medicine through their mediation between different spheres of political, scientific, medical and industrial interests. |

Neste artigo explora-se o modo como uma noção biomédica do cancro emergiu nessa época, intimamente associada ao desenvolvimento de uma “economia das radiações” que se apoiava nos usos clínicos ecientíficos da radioatividade. Argumenta-se que essa economia se baseou em ambos os conceitos de “cancro” e de “radiações”, que se constituíram como objetos de fronteira, capazes de sustentar, no caso português, uma nova ecologia institucional da medicina através do seu potencial mediador entre diversos interesses políticos, científicos, médicos e industriais.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2020-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2020237.01https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2020237.01Análise Social; Vol. 55 N.º 237 (2020); 692-7212182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23449https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23449/17449Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGomes Moreira, Ricardo2024-03-16T06:17:40Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/23449Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:00:18.401429Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

The studies of radioactivity and the consequent flourishing of the sciences and industries related to the production of radiations left a distinctive influence in Portuguese medicine of early twentieth century. In this article I examine the ways in which the biomedical concept of cancer that emerged in that period was in close connexion with the development of “radiations’ economy” sustained by the clinical and scientific uses of radioactivity. I argue that such economy was grounded on “cancer” and “radiations” concepts and that both of these were constituted as a boundary objects that were capable of supporting (in the Portuguese context) a new institutional ecology of medicine through their mediation between different spheres of political, scientific, medical and industrial interests. |
