Description
Nineteenth-century alienists were confident that societies, like individuals, had a mental state that could be described and if necessary treated — and Buenos Aires in 1881 was a city transformed by immigration, epidemic and civil conflict within a single generation. This medical thesis takes the whole population as its subject: what its nerves were doing, what the doctors thought was causing it, and what they proposed. The diagnosis says more about the anxieties of the medical profession than about the porteños, which is exactly why it is worth reading. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1881 Buenos Aires edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
