How does Latin American literature dialogue with the Latin American medical theory of its time? How do these physicians and writers get involved in the political destinies of their respective countries? Although some studies of this nature have been done on Argentina, there are no comprehensive studies unraveling the way in which physicians understand the body and their relationship with patients in the late 19th and early 20th in light of the interplay of politics and society during this time. During the 2018 summer vacation, I want to examine, among others, the archives of the Buenos Aires National Academy of Medicine. The Library of the Academy of Medicine has texts from 1489 to the present. For example, I intend to review the medical literature written by Dr. Cecilia Grierson, the first woman to receive a Medical Degree in Argentina. She was also a feminist like the important Modernist Argentinian poet Alfonsina Storni. Although they both have explained the existence in the female body, I have found no study comparing their work. The same can be said about Leopoldo Lugones and Dr. Bernardo Houssay, Nobel Prize Laureates in Medicine. Access to this archive will open the path to the study I pursue, which will also include writers and physicians from two other countries: Uruguay and Cuba.
