Zusammenfassung: | The paper focuses on the presence of non-whites people in the traditional institutions for the poor, specifically the population assisted in the hospitals for the insane in the city and state of Rio de Janeiro, from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The main paper argument is that the sociocultural and racial profile of patients from the researched institutions is linked to the characteristics of the society in which they are located--notably the process of abolition of slavery. The paper develops an overview of poverty assistance and its relationship with the changes that have taken place in the city of Rio de Janeiro; from the scientific discourse of the Bahian physician Juliano Moreira in his effort to remove the stigmas of race and degeneration as causes of mental illness from Brazilian society. Finally, the overview of the change of the racial profile of the public attended at the care institutions in Rio de Janeiro, from 1850 to 1919, especially at the Hospicio de Pedro II and, later, at the Hospicio Nacional de Alienados, in addition to the Misericordias do Rio de Janeiro and Valenca and the Hospicio attached of the Hospital Sao Joao Batista in Niteroi. Keywords: Public Relief; Insane; Race. O artigo analisa a presenca de pretos e pardos nas tradicionais instituicoes de assistencia aos pobres, especificamente a populacao assistida nos hospitais de alienados na cidade e no estado do Rio de Janeiro, da virada do seculo XIX para o XX. O argumento central e o de que o perfil sociocultural e racial dos doentes nessas diversas instituicoes vincula-se as caracteristicas da sociedade em que elas estao localizadas--notadamente o processo de abolicao da escravatura. O artigo apresenta uma visao geral da assistencia a pobreza e suas relacoes com as mudancas estruturais urbanas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro; do discurso cientifico do medico baiano Juliano Moreira no seu esforco de afastar da sociedade brasileira os estigmas da raca e da degeneracao como causas da doenca mental. Por fim, a modificacao do perfil racial do publico atendido nas instituicoes de assistencia no Rio de Janeiro, entre 1850 e 1919, principalmente no Hospicio de Pedro II/ Hospicio Nacional, nas Misericordias do Rio de Janeiro e Valenca e no Hospicio anexo ao Hospital Sao Joao Batista, em Niteroi. Palavras-chave: Assistencia; Alienados; Raca. |
