Abstract
En el presente trabajo se sostiene que el suicidio en Chile
fue representado por los jueces (a comienzos del siglo XIX),
primero como un pecado que debÃa ser castigado como crimen, y luego (mediados del siglo XIX) como una conducta desprovista de connotación religiosa y penal que debÃa ser
sobreseÃda. Esta última perspectiva primó, en parte, por la
incorporación de la teorÃa médica que lo clasificó como una
expresión de enfermedad mental. El predominio del criterio
médico por sobre el religioso se apuntó como el tránsito de
una sociedad cristiana a una cristiana de cuño secular.
In the present work, it is claimed that suicide in Chile was represented by judges (at the beginning of the 19th Century), first as a sin to be punished as a crime and then (mid-nineteenth Century) as a behavior devoid of religious and criminal connotation and which should be dismissed. This latter perspective prevailed partly by the incorporation of the medical theory that classified it as an expression of mental disorder. The imposition of the medical criterion over the religious one was noted as the transition from a Christian to a secular Christian society
