          Abstract

          This essay discusses the anthropological studies on body and illness from the perspective of the way in which they relate to biological knowledge in the scientific field of health. Anthropological research implies an attitude before this area of knowledge to the point that the way in which one relates to the other becomes an epistemological problem, defining the status of anthropological knowledge in that field marked by the hegemony of bio-medical sciences. From this point of view, we distinguish two perspectives: medical anthropology, subsumed under the logic of bio-medical knowledge, and the anthropology of health, whose approach through the notion of culture gives rise to another epistemological reference, pointing to the anthropological contribution to this field that presupposes, in itself, the distance from the references that support bio-medicine.

          Cet essai discute les études anthropologiques sur le corps et la maladie à partir de la façon dont elles se lient aux savoirs biologiques dans le domaine scientifique de la Santé. La recherche anthropologique implique une attitude telle faceà ces savoirs que la façon dont elle se situe par rapport à eux se convertit en un problème épistémologique, qui définit le statut du savoir anthropologique dans ce domaine marqué par l'hégémonie des sciences biomédicales. Sous ce point de vue, deux courants s'opposent : l'anthropologie médicale, qui s'insère dans la logique du savoir biomédical, et l'anthropologie de la santé, dont la façon d'opérer la notion de culture configure une autre référence épistémologique, qui indique vers la contribution effective de l'anthropologie à ce domaine qui suppose, en soi, l'éloignement des références de sens qui soutiennent la biomédecine.

          Translated abstract

          Este ensaio discute os estudos antropológicos sobre corpo e doença, a partir da forma como se relacionam com os saberes biológicos no campo científico da Saúde. A pesquisa antropológica implica uma atitude ante esses saberes de tal ordem que a forma como ela se situa em relação a eles se converte em problema epistemológico, definindo o estatuto do saber antropológico nesse campo marcado pela hegemonia das ciências biomédicas. Sob esse prisma, diferenciam-se duas vertentes: a antropologia médica, subsumida na lógica do saber biomédico, e a antropologia da saúde, cuja forma de operar a noção de cultura configura outra referência epistemológica, apontando para a efetiva contribuição da antropologia para esse campo, que supõe, em si, o distanciamento das referências de sentido que sustentam a biomedicina.
