The new issue of HCS-Manguinhos’ The biomedicalization of Brazilian bodies: anthropological perspectives (vol. 23 no.1 Rio de Janeiro Jan./Mar.2016) is already available in Scielo. It features articles examining the way biomedical techniques are taken up across the divergent structural constraints afforded by private and public health in Brazil. The texts in this special issue examine abortive drugs as they travel through legal regimes; the contingencies of psycho-pharmaceuticalization; the stratification of obstetrical ultrasound use; and new technologies of plastic surgeries.
