Blood ties: heredity and coproduction of social and natural orders in the 19th century
This article, based on a bibliographical review, seeks to establish relations between the scientific discourse on heredity, which emerged in the 19th century, and a myth, which will provide the post-revolutionary bourgeoisie with an opportune symbolic weapon that will reconcile the notion of justice with the admission of the natural character of social inequality. Shaping itself perfectly to the myth of Genesis, Genetics, inscribing differences into a kind of natural justice, will play this role. So it is seen as a scientific theory presents itself as sublimation of the phantoms of a society. But if science wears them, fic...

Primary Health Care: an essay on concepts applied to national studies
This study assumes that the country still lives a context where there is no clear separation between specific roles of different types of health services. It aimed to provide evidence that the tendency to assess the PHC in Brazil, only by reference to the FHS, is limiting the accurate determination of the health services universe that potentially include the features internationally defined as inherent to the PHC. The aim is to also indicate alternative possibilities for analysis and application of its concepts to national studies. We conclude that if on one hand PHC concepts are well defined in the literature, there is ev...
