Abstract
Objetivo
: Analizar el contexto de las decisiones del Estado colonial español en Nueva Granada
a finales del siglo XVIII para afrontar los problemas sanitarios atribuidos al enterramiento de
cadáveres en recintos sagrados. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio histórico basado en documentos
oficiales del gobierno colonial. Resultados: Las decisiones contra los enterramientos
en recintos sagrados estuvieron encuadradas en el ideario científico y político de la Ilustración
europea y muestran un nivel significativo de sistematización. Conclusiones: Las ideas predominantes
en Europa en las décadas finales del siglo XVIII constituyeron la matriz sobre la cual se
gestaron en nuestro país los pensamientos y las estructuras organizativas para actuar con cierto
rigor sobre la salud de las poblaciones. Investigaciones futuras deberán precisar la mediación
entre el pensamiento europeo y nuestra cultura autóctona.
