It analyzes the set-up of pediatrics as a specialized medical field in Buenos Aires, between 1890-1920. The article seeks to demonstrate this process as a result of two movements: the delimitation and characterization of children as a particular object of knowledge and intervention, and the institutionalization of some physicians as a professional group that sought to legitimate their specificity within the medicine field and beyond. After contextualizing socially and historically the concerns of medical knowledge on childhood, it explores with detail how the field was constructed, and the associative and academic movement that allowed pediatricians to constitute themselves as a group of specialists that bear a specific expertise.
该文分析了1890年至1920年间布宜诺斯艾利斯将儿科学设为一个专业医学领域的情况。本文旨在证明这一过程是两个运动的结果：将儿童界定并描述为一个特定的知识和干预对象，以及一些医生作为一个专业群体的制度化，该群体试图在医学领域内外使自身的特殊性合法化。在对关于儿童的医学知识所涉及的社会和历史背景进行阐述之后，文章详细探讨了该领域是如何构建的，以及使儿科医生能够将自己构建为一个拥有特定专业知识的专家群体的社团和学术运动。
