ABSTRACT
In this essay, whose title is inspired by the master piece ‘On the concept of the History’ by Walter Benjamin, we tell the history of the collective health, in connection to the Brazilian social human being, through twelve theses concatenated and concomitantly independent among them, precisely given some pointed divergences among us - the authors. We can say that the text presents theses and therefore some antitheses. We do acknowledge the relevance that the field of the collective health and the Sanitarian Movement have in the collective health and the Brazilian society; we linked the argument that both would not be immune to that which we here called: SER (Sexism, Elitism, Racism) - a way of being constitutive of our western and modern society -, responsible for the not-being of the majority which is called minority, mainly of the 5 archetypes of the Outskirts: ‘the Poor, the Black, the Psychotic, the Prostitute, the Northeastern’. To ground this thesis (or theses), we fraternized ourselves, each one to his\her way, to the provided and cultivated knowledge by the black scholars as well as the authors who contribute to the decolonization of our knowledge and practices, including some Europeans, towards collective emancipation.
