Os médicos e os embates do cientificismo na obra de Eça de Queirós (1875-1888)

Durante a segunda metade do século XIX, a atenção dada à ciência, que ganha então maior espaço na literatura, cresce muito. A Medicina estava em ascensão, e grande foi a sua importância no controle de enfermidades e redução do número de mortes prematuras. Além disso, os médicos ainda enfrentavam, apesar de tudo, dificuldades para se estabelecerem socialmente, uma vez que ainda existia o costume da busca de curandeiros, boticários e benzedeiras. Eça de Queirós, que, neste particular, traça um panorama diversificado e valioso da situação portuguesa, aborda o cientificismo, colocando-o em xeque, juntamente com o discurso religioso, ambos ainda com tanto prestígio na esfera dos assuntos públicos. Muitos estudiosos ainda veem na obra de Eça um caráter exclusivamente doutrinador, e no discurso científico percebem apenas um contraponto ao discurso religioso. A análise de três obras que trazem médicos como personagens secundários ou como protagonistas na trama mostra que não era somente este o papel do cientificismo queirosiano em O Primo Basílio, O Crime do Padre Amaro e Os Maias. Através dos médicos dos romances da fase mais marcadamente realista-naturalista de Eça (Julião, Dr. Gouveia e Carlos Eduardo) é possível perceber o quanto Eça avança de posições mais doutrinárias (da década de 70) para posições mais complexas e problematizadoras (da década de 80)

Final Report of the Phase III Archaeological Investigations at the Dr. Upton Scott House (18AP18), Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 1998-1999

In the summers of 1998 and 1999, the Archaeology in Annapolis project carried out archaeological investigation at the eighteenth century Dr. Upton Scott House site (18AP18)located at 4 Shipwright Street in the historic district of Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The Upton Scott House is significant as one of only a few Georgian houses with remnants of its original plantation-inspired landscape still visible (Graham 1998:147). Investigation was completed in agreement with the owners of the historic property, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Christian, who were interested in determining the condition and arrangement of Dr. Upton Scott’s well-documented pleasure gardens. Betty Cosans’ 1972 Archaeological Feasibility Report, the first real archaeological study of the Upton Scott House site, guided the research design and recovery efforts. Cosans determined that testing and survey in the back and side yards of the Scott property would yield important information on the use and history of the property, including that of Scott’s famous gardens. Excavation units and trenches were placed within three separate areas of backyard activity on the site which included Area One: extant brick stables in the southwest of the property; Area Two: the brick foundations of a small outbuilding located in the northwest area of the site; and Area Three: the area of Scott’s formal gardens. The research design included an interest in recovering evidence of African-American spiritual practice and domestic life at the site. Also of significant importance was an analysis of Scott’s garden beds, concerning the order and layout. Also sought was an understanding of the change in perception and use of the backyard by the various owners of the property.
