The purpose of this article is to approach the understanding of the role played by films in the mechanismsfor the socio-cultural construction of health and disease. Our starting point is the consideration ofPublic health and cinema as sets of practices and discourses that are interrelated and essential for theprocesses of construction and functioning of contemporary societies. Based on this premise, we willanalyse the different types of representation of epidemics in films, seen as diseases that go beyond theprivate life of the individual. This provides some explanatory keys regarding our way of understanding,experiencing and managing the collective dimensions of disease. |
