Asbestos-related diseases in Latin America: A Critical Medical Anthropology perspective
Asbestos-related diseases (ARD) cause around 255,000 deaths a year worldwide; however, this problem has not aroused much interest in Latin American medical anthropology, despite the fact that the highest global productivity of asbestos took place in this region during the 1980s.

asbestos-related diseases in latin america: a critical medical anthropology perspective |
| description |
Asbestos-related diseases (ARD) cause around 255,000 deaths a year worldwide; however, this problem has not aroused much interest in Latin American medical anthropology, despite the fact that the highest global productivity of asbestos took place in this region during the 1980s. Based on a documentary review of scientific production, gray literature, and other resources, the aim of this article is to elucidate the potential of the theoretical contributions of Critical Medical Anthropology for the research on how the people affected experience and deal with these illnesses in this region, from three dimensions of analysis: a) ARD as a product of the capitalist system, b ) the difficulties in access to health care and pensions for those affected, c) the struggle as a form of agency for those affected. The critical perspective that underlines the importance of the dialectical approach between relations of domination and resistance contributes to the reconstruction of the state of the art and a historicization of the problem in the region. |

Based on a documentary review of scientific production, gray literature, and other resources, the aim of this article is to elucidate the potential of the theoretical contributions of Critical Medical Anthropology for the research on how the people affected experience and deal with these illnesses in this region, from three dimensions of analysis: a) ARD as a product of the capitalist system, b ) the difficulties in access to health care and pensions for those affected, c) the struggle as a form of agency for those affected. The critical perspective that underlines the importance of the dialectical approach between relations of domination and resistance contributes to the reconstruction of the state of the art and a historicization of the problem in the region. Las enfermedades relacionadas con el asbesto (ERA) ocasionan alrededor de 255,000 muertes al año en el mundo; sin embargo, no han despertado el interés de la antropología médica latinoamericana, pese a que en esta región se dio la mayor productividad mundial de asbesto en la década de 1980. A partir de la revisión documental de producción científica, literatura gris y otros recursos, este artículo busca elucidar el potencial de las aportaciones teóricas de la Antropología Médica Crítica para el estudio de cómo se viven y se atienden estas enfermedades en la región, desde tres dimensiones de análisis: a) las ERA como producto del sistema capitalista, b) las dificultades en el acceso a atención y pensión de los afectados, c) la lucha como una forma de agenciamiento de los afectados. Desde esta mirada crítica, que subraya la importancia del abordaje dialéctico entre las relaciones de dominación y resistencia, el artículo abona a la reconstrucción del estado del arte y una historización del problema en la región. As doenças relacionadas ao amianto (DRAs) causam cerca de 255 mil mortes por ano no mundo; no entanto, não têm despertado o interesse da antropologia médica latino-americana, apesar de a maior produtividade mundial de amianto ter ocorrido nessa região na década de 1980. Com base em uma revisão documental da produção científica, da literatura cinzenta e de outros recursos, este artigo busca elucidar o potencial das contribuições teóricas da Antropologia Médica Crítica para o estudo de como essas doenças são vivenciadas e cuidadas na região, a partir de três dimensões de análise: a) as DRAs como produto do sistema capitalista, b) as dificuldades de acesso a cuidados e pensões para os afetados, c) a luta como forma de agência para os afetados. A partir dessa perspectiva crítica, que destaca a importância da abordagem dialética entre as relações de dominação e resistência, o artigo contribui para a reconstrução do estado da arte e para a historicização do problema na região.
