Eugenia 'negativa', psiquiatria e catolicismo: embates em torno da esterilização eugênica no Brasil

Abstract: Analisa o diálogo do eugenista Renato Kehl com um grupo de psiquiatras brasileiros que, no início da década de 1930, aproximaram-se da chamada eugenia negativa. Entusiasmados com as pesquisas e a aplicação de medidas eugênicas em países como os EUA e a Alemanha, autores como Ernani Lopes, Ignácio da Cunha Lopes, Alberto Farani e Antonio Carlos Pacheco e Silva elegeram a religião católica como empecilho para que o Brasil pudesse seguir caminho semelhante, especialmente quanto à resistência à implantação da este… Show more

“…One might speculate that the early separation between Catholic church and the State, as well as the absorption of the Illuminist spirit among dominant sectors Geymonat, 1997;Ortega, 2008), determined the relatively lower weight of the opposition of the Uruguayan church to negative eugenic strategies in this period when compared to the role of the Church and of the Catholic doctrine in other South American countries, such as Argentina (Armus, 2016), Brazil Souza, 2013), and Mexico (Suárez y López-Guazo, 2002). In that sense, one could surmise that the secularization also reached the Uruguayan church, which have been fairly tolerant and, in some ways, even enthusiastic in accepting the technicalscientific foundations of the positivist thinking in general, and of eugenics in particular.…”

“…Nesse sentido, a orientação neolamarckiana não resultou, necessariamente, na rejeição de medidas radicais, como a seleção imigratória, as quais foram comumente associadas à eugenia anglo-saxã de base mendeliana. Tais relações, vindas ao encontro de pesquisas recentes sobre a história da eugenia no Brasil (Souza, 2011;Wegner, Souza, 2013), permitem problematizar a associação entre o neolamarckismo e a defesa de uma eugenia mais "suave", isto é, orientada essencialmente para as medidas de saneamento e para os cuidados com a maternidade e a infância, por exemplo (Stepan, 2004 10 Faço aqui alusão ao estudo de Ricardo Benzaquen de Araújo sobre a obra de Gilberto Freyre. Para o autor, o emprego da categoria "meio físico", por Gilberto Freyre, implicou um uso distinto do conceito de raça, numa chave neolamarckista, definida pelo autor como um posicionamento intermediário entre os conceitos de raça e de cultura (Araújo, 2005, p.36-37).…”

“…Despite Kaelble's reservations, Kehl was invited to be part of the new Behring Institute as a partner. By the late 1920s, Renato Kehl had become interested in the more radical ideas of 'negative eugenics' and intensified his relationship with German experts, which led him to distance himself from Brazilian medical and sanitarian thought (Wegner;Souza, 2013). Although his departure from DNSP further contributed to this distancing, he was the son-in-law of the director of this state agency which was responsible for health activities and drug monitoring in the country.…”
