| description | During the 18th and 19th centuries, a new sensibility toward death developed in several countries. In addition to the danger posed by corpses to health, medicine also sought to better define the boundaries between life and death. Complaints about people buried with signs of life raised the issue of apparent death and highlighted the need for physicians to more accurately identify signs of death in the body. This article uses medical journals and other documents to examine the issue of apparent death in the context of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in the 19th century. After presenting general aspects of the debate on apparent death in medicine at the time and its implications, using Portugal as an example, this article examines this debate in the Brazilian case. |
