Both theories were used to explain outbreaks in Rio Grande do Norte specially in Natal. In this process were organized new institutions linked to public health, unhealthy spaces and prescribed hygiene measures. The redefinitions of the spaces were linked to updated elements of Hippocratic medicine such as aerism and emphasis on medical topography. How the physicians of the town were organized in the face of new meanings and fields of expertise in the demarcation of diseases and regulation of their own practices against the illegal medical practitioners? Likewise, the very occurrence of epidemics mobilized people, urban institutions and apparatuses. But how the Hippocratic legacy that leads to the idea of bad air originated by swamps from the eighteenth and nineteenth century has been linked to new microbial assumptions and disease vectors in the early twentieth century? How an invader from Africa, (the mosquito A. gambiae) mobilized transnational efforts to combat malaria and redefined the epidemiological practices? The aim of this work is to understand how epidemiological practices redefine the way we define spaces, practices and disease from both an approach influenced by a relational history of spaces and a theoretical synergy which includes topics in Science Studies, Post Structuralist Geography and some elements of Feminist Studies. Documentary research were surveyed in the reports of the provincial presidents, government posts to the Provincial Assembly, specialized medical articles and theses, and documents from the Rockefeller Foundation and national and international journals. In this regard shall be given to both material and discursive aspects of space-related practical epidemiological that Natal as much (in general) Rio Grande do Norte between bad air and malaria. / O desenvolvimento de pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas nos ?ltimos anos do s?culo XIX e in?cio do s?culo XX foi caracterizado tanto pela influ?ncia da geografia m?dica quanto pela emerg?ncia dos micr?bios e vetores de doen?as como modelos explicativos. Esses elementos come?aram a se destacar nas quest?es relacionadas ?s epidemias no Rio Grande do Norte com uma maior visibilidade em Natal. Nesse processo foram organizadas novas institui??es ligadas ? sa?de p?blica, houve a demarca??o de espa?os insalubres e foram prescritas medidas de higiene e profilaxia a partir da Inspetoria de Hygiene. A redefini??o dos espa?os devido ? circula??o e prolifera??o de novos pressupostos tamb?m foi articulada a elementos da medicina hipocr?tica atualizados, com ?nfase no aerismo e na topografia m?dica. De que maneira o pr?prio corpo m?dico da cidade se organizou frente aos novos sentidos e especializa??es nas demarca??es das doen?as e na pr?pria regulamenta??o de suas pr?ticas frente aos charlat?es e praticantes de medicina ilegal? Da mesma maneira, a pr?pria ocorr?ncia de epidemias mobilizou pessoas, inaugura??o de institui??es e de aparatos urbanos. Mas de que maneira o legado hipocr?tico que remete ? id?ia de maus ares pantanosos que resultavam das inquieta??es sanitaristas do s?culo XVIII e XIX se articulou aos novos pressupostos microbianos e relativos aos vetores no in?cio do s?culo XX? Como um mosquito invasor , o A. gambiae, vindo da ?frica para Natal, mobilizou esfor?os transnacionais no combate ? mal?ria e com isso ajudou a redefinir as pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas? Pretende-se compreender como as pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas redefinem a maneira de se delimitar espa?os, pr?ticas e doen?as a partir de uma abordagem tanto influenciada por uma perspectiva relacional do espa?o na hist?ria quanto a partir de uma sinergia te?rica que inclui os Estudos da Ci?ncia, Geografia P?s-estruturalista e elementos dos Estudos Feministas. Na pesquisa documental foram pesquisados os Relat?rios dos presidentes de prov?ncia, Mensagens de Governo ? Assembl?ia Provincial, artigos e teses m?dicas especializadas, al?m de documentos da Funda??o Rockefeller e peri?dicos nacionais e internacionais. Nesse sentido ser? privilegiado o aspecto tanto material quanto discursivo dos espa?os ligados ?s pr?ticas epidemiol?gicas que atravessam tanto Natal quanto (de maneira geral) o Rio Grande do Norte entre os maus ares e a mal?ria no per?odo proposto.

In that matter, there were several actions of improvements and embellishment in Natal, which had, as a starting point, the adequacy works of the port, located in the Ribeira quarter, with the aim of ending the physical isolation that reinforced its economic stagnation. Besides the problems faced in the opening bar of the Potengi River, and would complement the required improvements, other barriers demonstrate the tension established between the physic-geographic field and the man: the flooded and slope which connected Cidade Alta and Ribeira the first two quarters of the city.The execution of these works demanded knowledge whose domain and application it was for engineering. But, how the actions done for the engineers, in sense to transform natural areas into constructed spaces made possible the intentional conformation of the quarter of the Ribeira in a commercial and politician-administrative center, in the middle of the XIX century and beginning of the XX? Understand, therefore, the employment effects of technology on the physical-geographical Ribeira, is the objective of this work that uses theoretical and methodological procedures of Urban Environmental History, by analyzing the relationship between the environment and the man, mediated by knowledge and use of technologies. The documental research was used, as primary sources, the Messages of the Provincial Assembly Government that later became the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte reports and articles on specialized publications, in addition to local newspapers. The work is structured in five chapters. First, some comments about Urban Environmental History (Chapter 1) supplemented with analysis of the conceptual construction of nature in the Contemporary Era and its application in the city (chapter 02), the following chapters (03 and 04) deal with the rise of engineers as a active group in the Brazilian government frameworks and their vision about the nature inside the urban environment and it is studied how the professional technicians dealt with the improvement work of the harbor and in the shock with the natural forces. Other works that would complement this "project" of modernization and had had natural obstacles to be removed the Ribeira flood and slope constitute the subject of the fifth chapter. Finally, some final considerations retake the initial discussions aiming an association between the technique and the nature as junction elements inside the process of constitution of a Modern Natal / A necessidade de inser??o da capital do Rio Grande do Norte no cen?rio comercial mundial e sua afirma??o como sede do poder pol?tico, em fins do s?culo XIX e in?cio do XX, determinou o rumo das interven??es urbanas empreendidas, pela administra??o p?blica, para reestruturar a cidade. Nesse sentido, v?rias foram as a??es de melhoramentos e de aformoseamentos em Natal, que tiveram, como ponto de partida, as obras de adequa??o do porto, localizado no bairro da Ribeira, com a finalidade de p?r fim ao isolamento f?sico que refor?ava a sua estagna??o econ?mica. Al?m dos problemas enfrentados para a abertura da barra do rio Potengi, e que complementaria as necess?rias melhorias, outros entraves demonstrariam a tens?o instaurada entre o meio f?sico-geogr?fico e o homem: o alagado e o elevado que ligava a Cidade Alta e Ribeira os dois primeiros bairros da cidade. A execu??o dessas obras demandava conhecimento cujo dom?nio e aplica??o cabia ? engenharia. Mas, de que modo as a??es realizadas pelos engenheiros, no sentido de transformar ?reas naturais em espa?os constru?dos, possibilitariam a conforma??o intencional do bairro da Ribeira num centro comercial e pol?tico-administrativo, entre meados do s?culo XIX e in?cio do XX? Compreender, portanto, os efeitos do emprego da t?cnica sobre o espa?o f?sico-geogr?fico da Ribeira, constitui o objetivo deste trabalho que teve como ferramental te?rico-metodol?gico a Hist?ria Ambiental Urbana, ao analisar a rela??o entre o meio ambiente e o homem, mediada pelo conhecimento e emprego de tecnologias. Na pesquisa documental, utilizou-se, como fontes prim?rias, as Mensagens do Governo ? Assembl?ia Provincial posteriormente Assembl?ia Legislativa do Estado , relat?rios e artigos de publica??es especializados, al?m dos peri?dicos locais. O trabalho estruturou-se em cinco cap?tulos. Primeiro tece-se coment?rios sobre a Hist?ria Ambiental Urbana (cap?tulo 1) complementado, com a an?lise da constru??o conceitual da natureza na Era Contempor?nea e sua aplica??o na cidade (cap?tulo 02); os cap?tulos seguintes (03 e 04) versam sobre a ascens?o dos engenheiros, como grupo atuante nos quadros administrativos brasileiros e a vis?o da categoria sobre a natureza dentro do meio urbano e estuda-se a maneira como esses profissionais lidaram com as obras de melhoramento do porto e o seu embate com as for?as naturais. As demais obras que complementariam esse projeto de moderniza??o e que tiveram obst?culos naturais a serem removidos o alagado e o elevado constituem a ?tica do quinto cap?tulo. Por fim, s?o retomadas as discuss?es iniciais entorno da rela??o t?cnica e natureza, como elementos articuladores, dentro do processo de constitui??o de uma Moderna Natal
