unapi

This paper presents a synthesis in order to make intelligible the erosion of collective belief in the existence of hermaphrodites and sex changes, placing this process in the medical and cultural context of Spain illustrated. Scan this sense three converging processes. First, naturalization Monster and the removal of the "wonderful" in the science of the Enlightenment. Second, the launch of modern forensic medicine and optional conversion to the competent authority regarding sexual identity. Finally, the attempt to substantiate biologically gender differences described. The paper concludes by examining the projection of this intellectual heritage illustrated in Spanish medicine in the early decades of the nineteenth century.
