Abstract

In this study the analysis of the actions of the Commission of Rural Prophylaxis in Paraná (1916-1919), is the starting point for thinking about different processes of deterioration of the rural identity in this state in the period 1916 to 1921. In the midst of health projects, colonization, resistance, poverty, lack of resources, partnerships and the outbreak of the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918, the Comission prepared an extensive report on their activities. Based on these data and dialogue with other documents of the period, we seek to understand how they were constantly articulated and appropriate conceptions about the population in horizons of disability for the civilization and autonomous management of their lives. Which are also problematized the future expectations, group interventions, for the state or not, were legitimized by these discourses.
