Resumen
SAAVEDRA, Mónica. Malaria, mosquitoes and the rural world in twentieth century Portugal. Etnográfica [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.1, pp.51-76. ISSN 0873-6561.
This article centres on former rural workers’ memories of “having malaria”. Focusing on descriptions of the disease’s physical experience and its relation with everyday working practices, the multiplicity and complexity of malaria’s definition will be analyzed. Malaria’s socio-political dimension, underlying the collected memories, as well as the circumstantialities, adaptability and pragmatism of the practices related to the disease will be highlighted.
