| description |
The criminal judicial files of Cordoba del Tucuman have been studied from various approaches, in a thematic arc that ranges from the history of law and institutional history through daily life to social control in times of Bourbon reforms. As a documentary source, they are testimonies of special richness in relation to the social, regional and imaginary and have not yet been fully valued for historical reconstruction, such as, for example, in relation to daily life and the history of the medicine. Therefore, from the perspective of the history of everyday life, we will approach the practices of medical professionals in judicial processes, recognizing bruises, corpses, diagnosing diseases and giving therapies and medications. In these practices we not only found the physician, but also others who had to recognize ‘marks’ in living and dead subjects (judicial officials - mayors quadrilles, of the Santa Hermandad and ordinarys - and suitable ones who healed), in order to obtain evidence of a crime committed (injuries, deaths) and initiate a legal process to find the guilty party. The objectives of this first approach to the subject are to determine who were the auxiliaries of Justice called to carry out the examinations (both medical and qualified); the diseases, symptoms, causes thereof and wounds resulting from attacks, fights and quarrels; We will place special emphasis on medical practice, with its technical vocabulary, its tools, medicines an administered therapies. We understand that the information collected in the judicial crime files will allow us to enrich, from the forensic writings (recognitions of wounds and corpses, medical certifications), the knowledge about medicine and medical practices, as well as those carried out by qualified persons, both in the city as in the Cordoban campaign in the 18th century. |

Los expedientes judiciales de materia criminal de Cordoba del Tucuman han sido estudiados desde diversos abordajes, en un arco tematico que va desde la historia del derecho y la historia institucional pasando por la vida cotidiana hasta el control social en tiempos de reformas borbonicas. Como fuente documental son testimonios de especial riqueza en relación a lo social, lo regional y el imaginario y aun no han sido valorados en su totalidad para la reconstrucción historica, como, por ejemplo, en lo relativo a la vida cotidiana y a la historia de la medicina. Por ello, desde la perspectiva de la historia de la vida cotidiana, nos acercaremos a las practicas de los profesionales de la medicina en los procesos judiciales reconociendo contusiones, cadaveres, diagnosticando enfermedades y dando terapias y medicamentos. En esas practicas no solo hallamos al medico, sino tambien a otros que debian reconocer ‘marcas’ en sujetos vivos y muertos (funcionarios judiciales -alcaldes cuadrilleros, de la Santa Hermandad y ordinarios- e idoneos que curaban), a los fines de obtener pruebas de un delito cometido (heridas, muertes) e iniciar un proceso legal para hallar al culpable. Son objetivos de esta primera aproximación al tema, determinar quienes eran los auxiliares de la Justicia llamados a realizar los reconocimientos (tanto medicos como idoneos); las enfermedades, sintomas, causas de las mismas como de las heridas resultado de ataques, peleas y pendencias; haremos especial hincapié en la practica medica, con su vocabulario tecnico, sus herramientas, medicinas y terapias administradas. Entendemos que la información recopilada en los expedientes judiciales de crimen permitira enriquecer, desde los escritos forenses (reconocimientos de heridas y de cadaveres, certificaciones medicas), el conocimiento sobre la medicina y las practicas medicas, como de las realizadas por idoneos, tanto en la ciudad como en la campana cordobesa entre los siglos XVIII y XIX.
