Porque me orgulho do Instituto de Saúde Coletiva da UFBA! The Genesis of Collective Health in Brazil (by Lígia Vieira & Patrice Pinell) Sociology of Health & Illness 2013 ISSN 0141-9889 During the 1970s in Brazil a social space directed towards health problems on the population level, called collective health, was created and institutionalised. To what extent did this Brazilian invention correspond to a specific socio-historical practice? The works published on this topic have considered social medicine as a homogeneous phenomenon without empirically studying the specificities of national experiences. To bridge this gap, a historical study on the genesis of collective health in Brazil was carried out based on Bourdieu’s field theory.
