Dengue en la agenda pública argentina: relatos institucionales sobre los brotes en la frontera noroeste (2009-2013)
Abstract
El presente trabajo aborda la caracterización de la zona de frontera norte de la Argentina en documentos oficiales enmarcados en la campaña contra el dengue, la que fue constituida como objetivo a partir del 2009 con el Plan Nacional de Prevención y Control del Dengue y la Fiebre Amarilla. Así, se estudian en profundidad los rasgos discursivos de los folletos de comunicación publicados y difundidos por el Ministerio de Salud argentino en el lapso 2012-2014, destinados a la información sobre síntomas y modos de prevención del contagio de dengue. Aquí podrá observarse cómo la imagen de la frontera se constituye como un hito a partir del que se definen los diagnósticos, las narraciones sobre los brotes y la descripción de las soluciones más adecuadas, en desmedro de explicaciones más estructurales o profundas sobre la prevalencia del dengue en el país y la situación socioeconómica de las áreas más afectadas.
This workdeals with the characterization of the northern borderof Argentina in official documents framed in the campaign against dengue, established as an objective starting in 2009 with the National Plan for Prevention and Control of Dengue and Yellow Fever. So, this article studies in depth the discursive features of communication brochures published and disseminated by the Ministry Argentine Health in the period 2012-2014, for the information on symptoms and ways of preventing the spread of dengue. Here you can observe how the image of the border is constituted as a milestone, from which the diagnoses are defined, the stories about outbreaks and description of the most appropriate solutions at the expense of more structural or deep explanations on the prevalence of dengue in the country and the socioeconomic situation of the most affected areas.
