GARCIA RAMIREZ, Carlos Mario  y  GIRALDO GALEANO, Sergio Andrés. OUTLINE OF POLITICAL AND LEGAL APPROPRIATION OF DETERMINISTIC BIOLOGICISM IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IN COLOMBIA. Prolegómenos [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.35, pp.81-102. ISSN 0121-182X.  https://doi.org/10.18359/dere.803.

The conditions of possibility of circulation and appropriation of biologicist, hygienist and deterministic ideas in Colombia in the early twentieth century can be understood from the importance that a certain sector of the intellectual elite, which was mainly educated in Europe or in contact with it, gave through its various discourses to the race issue. First, from medicine, understood in its broadest spectrum as a knowledge, and then from politics and law; period in which it is identified the role of medicine in legal reforms or in issuance of rules for what society demanded at that time, in the perspective of social control over individuals and the population, in general.

Palabras clave : Biologicism; hygienism; determinism; Colombia first half of the twentieth century.
