Its growth as a subfield is part of the current fragmentation of historical studies - now much more prolific in thematic cuts than in ambitious and comprehensive narratives - and also of questions and approaches that the social sciences and humanities have highlighted among their concerns. This ostensible presence of disease as an object of reflection has been, and continues to be, the result of contributions originating in different work agendas. First, efforts to renew the traditional history of medicine. Then, the dissemination of interpretative models coming from other disciplines that, in various ways, found a problematic knot in disease. Finally, historical studies of the population and its material conditions of existence. En las últimas dos décadas el tema de la enfermedad ha comenzado a ganar un lugar destacado en la historiografía latinoamericana. Su crecimiento como subcampo es parte de la actual fragmentación de los estudios históricos -ahora mucho más prolíficos en recortes temáticos que en ambiciosas y abarcativas narrativas- y también de preguntas y enfoques que las ciencias sociales ylas humanidades han destacado entre sus preocupaciones. Esta ostensible presencia de la enfermedad como objeto de reflexión ha sido, y sigue siendo, el resultado de contribuciones originadas en distintas agendas de trabajo. En primer lugar, los esfuerzos por renovar la tradicional historia de la medicina. Luego, la diseminación de modelos interpretativos provenientes de otras disciplinas que por diversas vías encontraron en la enfermedad un nudo problemático. Finalmente, los estudios históricos de la población y de sus condiciones materiales de existencia.
