- English abstract
- The Body in Words: Religion, health and humanity in the colonial Andes studies the forms of government, institutions and ideas about the body, health and disease created and spread in the Andes under colonial rule. These involved public assistance, the administration of medical knowledge and the dissemination of concepts about the body, health, and the human being. The book offers a reconstruction of an epidemic that devastated much of South America in the early eighteenth century, at a time when the Hispanic monarchy went through significant changes that transformed its place in the world.
