摘要：Towards the end of the nineteenth century, a process of medicalization began in Argentina as part of the process of state building and social modernization. Although local and regional realities show distinguishable characteristics, a common feature was that the consolidation of the medical elite as a corporation came about as the result of a struggle with other social actors who also looked after the health of the population. This article analyses the arguments put forward by the spiritist Juan Quinteros while facing persecution at the hands of the Hygiene Council, with the aim of identifying which characteristics of spiritism Quinteros made visible when defending his subjectivity and healing practice.
