The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the relevance of Lima-based medical geography works and research in the construction of a “backwardness” image for the Highlands and its population. Also, it looks to know how this justified their relegation as objects of science, as part of the medical elite aspiration to reach “progress” during the second half of the nineteenth-century. By reviewing monographs, short essays, discussions and medical dissertations, we argue that a creole environmental imaginary was formed from medicine to impose a back warded and uncivilized condition to the Andean space and the indigenous population. However, by using a post-constructivist view of science and some ideas from the postcolonial history of medicine, we argue that this figure wasn’t monolithic. This was because the racialized and pathologized identity of both the indigenous population and the Andes was articulated in a relational sense. In other words, given their place inside a socio-ecological assemblage of the country, their diverse interactions with the physicians, bacteria and insects were essential in the conception of Modern Peru.
