O trabalho e parte de nossa pesquisa de doutorado, trata-se de uma analise sobre a presenca da enfermidade lepra, desde a Antiguidade ate a Idade Media. O objetivo e identificar como o medo milenar do contagio, fortalecido pelos estigmas, acarretou um impacto profundo na vida das varias sociedades humanas do Oriente e do Ocidente. Pretende-se, ainda, demonstrar que as interpretacoes dadas a essa doenca por religioes de matrizes, judaica e crista tornaram-se institucionalizadas, gerando fortes representacoes negativas e preconceituosas que lhes sao atribuidas. Para lancar luz a historia da lepra e para tornar compreensivel o medo e as interpretacoes preconceituosas lancadas aos individuos acometidos por ela, o aporte e buscado nas ciencias economicas, especificamente, no institucionalismo historico, abordagem que tem como premissa basica a enfase sobre a influencia das instituicoes sobre o comportamento das sociedades, alem de considerar a contingencia historica de toda e qualquer instituicao (NORTH, 1990; 1991; 1994; 2000.) e (HODGSON, 1998; 2001; 2004; 2006; 2009). Leprosy in the East and West: from Antiquity to the Middle Ages The work is part of our doctoral research, it is an analysis of the presence of leprosy disease, from antiquity to the Middle Ages. The goal is to identify how the millennial fear of contagion, strengthened by the stigmas, led a profound impact on life of the various human societies of the east and the west. It is also intended to demonstrate that the interpretations given to this disease by matrix religions, Jewish and Christian have become institutionalized, generating strong negative and prejudiced representations attributed to them. To shed light on the history of leprosy and to make understandable the fear and interpretations prejudices released to individuals affected by it, the contribution is sought in the economic sciences, specifically, in historical institutionalism, approach that has as basic premise emphasis on the influence of institutions about the behavior of societies, in addition to considering the historical contingency of any and all institutions (NORTH, 1990; 1991; 1994; 2000)and (HODGSON, 1998; 2001; 2004; 2006; 2009).
