Résumé:
This work aims to analyze the medical school as a space producing new
knowledge and medical practices in the city of Campina Grande in the 60s and
70s of the twentieth century. This institution was created during the military
government whose logic was based on developmental support to the sectors of
education and technology, but also represented a yearning of the local elite who
saw the institution as a major breakthrough for the medical area in the city in the
year is celebrating its centenary. Having initially worked as a private school, that
institution was the first medical school in the Brazilian Northeast. In this sense,
our study has focused on the everyday practices undertaken by students and
professors, by changes in sensitivity and design of the body through laboratory
techniques, the theoretical and practical lessons developed within that
institution in that period (1960/1970 .) From this perspective, we would
emphasize the importance it now has the Faculty to meet student demand
coming from the elite or derived from the popular classes through a scholarship
sponsored by the government. To the Campinense community the Faculty of
Medicine gave himself some free services such as vaccinations, care in
pregnancy, surgery, consultations in various medical specialties through the
FAP Hospital (Assistance Foundation of Paraíba) by its doctors and its
students. As to the sources exploited in making this work, we turn to the
analysis of verbal reports of memories of subjects who experienced this historic
moment, newspaper articles, medical reports and photographs in line with the
representations that were built on the institution.
