RESUMO

Abstract This article investigates how the 1886-1887 cholera epidemic in Rosario, Argentina led to discrimination among city spaces associated with foci, the production of certain socio-moral images about the sectors most affected, and the development of emergency clinical practices. Based on analysis of the signifiers used to define areas of segregation, I seek to show how working-class living conditions were one of the most pressing problems of urban expansion, to identify tensions between the application of hygiene measures and the evacuation or eviction of working-class sectors and to examine the role of displacement in the definition of suburban spaces.
