This article aims to discuss the concept of social representation of the disease. It is based on discussions in the theoretical field about the relationship between individual and society. In order to do so, authors of different disciplinary matrices - Anthropology, Sociology, History and Psychology - are analyzed, which, in common, analyzed the insertion of the individual in the social structure, providing different angles of thinking about the question. It is necessary to mobilize the relationship between the concept of Social Representation and the experience of the disease, which takes place both in subjective and concrete terms, in the search for the understanding that there are permanencies in the social construction of chronic and epidemic diseases. |
