Abstract

This chapter will allow from a perspective that considers and values the questioning to the classical epistemologies of health and illness, enhancing the hegemonic approach perspective by the incorporation of new actors and essential knowledge to embrace the diversity of the current scenarios. We question the “place” from where we talk and address the problematic of Chagas because it evidences not only underlying epistemological frameworks but also the ways of addressing the relationship with the Other and the mechanisms and practices from which we face health interventions and acknowledge power relationships and the knowledge at stake. From these considerations, we would like to propose reflections and alternative epistemological scenarios from which it is possible, from our perspective, to address the problematic of Chagas in a contextualized and comprehensive way.
