Abstract

LOPES, Fábio Henrique. Medicina, educação e gênero: as diferenciações sexuais do suicídio nos discursos médicos do século XIX. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2007, n.29, pp.241-257. ISSN 0104-4060.

By means of this article, constant and repeated sexual differences in XIX century medical discourses are analysed, between suicide committed by men and that one comitted by women. I’m seeking the basis used in order to support such difference and questioning the possibility of thinking about the difference between a male and a female gender of committing suicide, standing out, in this normative process, the role attributed to Education and its preventive task.

Keywords : Education; Suicide; Gender; Medical Discourse.
