Resumo: This paper is based upon systematic  documentary research on two  homeopathic journals circulating in  Brazil between 2002 and 2015. Even  though we are in a position to know  that homeopathic preparations are but placebo pills, the homeopathic  doctrine enjoys a considerable degree  of social and institutional recognition  in Brazil. This paper describes and analyzes the main legitimation strategies homeopaths deploy in order to shield the doctrine from criticisms coming from the scientific community. As a result, I identify and discuss two opposing strategies which reflect a conflict within the homeopathic culture. These are labeled the  cientificist and the culturalist approaches, the latter being of particular interest since it entails an  instrumentalization of the theoretical framework from the social sciences.

Embora estejamos em condições de saber que os preparados homeopáticos não passam de placebos, a doutrina homeopática goza de um grau considerável de reconhecimento social e institucional no Brasil. Neste artigo, descrevo e analiso as principais estratégias de legitimação usadas por homeopatas para resguardar a doutrina de críticas da comunidade científica. Identifico e discuto duas estratégias antagônicas, que refletem um conflito interno à cultura homeopática: a abordagem cientificista e a culturalista, esta última de especial interesse, por envolver a instrumentalização dos referenciais teóricos das ciências humanas.Universidade de São Paulo.
