As políticas públicas de higiene e o fim dos sepultamentos nas igrejas de São Luís: (1828 – 1855)

Abstract

Discussion about the epidemics that afflicted São Luis during the XIX century and their relation with the burial practice changes. The concepts of modernity paradigms at the capital means judgments about what should or not should be preserved, about what would be good and bad places, progress and decadence, establishing rules to be followed. One of the main actions that would be taken to wanting to turn into the ludovicense urban environment a more hygienic place, was get through with burial in the churches and move it to far way places of the city area.
