Public Health & Communication

31.05.2017
Revue MEI Médiation et Information n°40

Research on public health seeks to save, to protect and to improve the well-being of the population. To do so, research follows two goals: 1. to study health issues in order to understand their epidemiological and sociocultural origins. 2. To intervene with the population at large and with vulnerable people to promote medical attention, measures of protection and prevention. In public health, communication plays a role within the frame of the second goal. This role consists in conveying new behaviours adapted to health hazards, environmental hazards, to the prevention of accidents, to the education to “safer sex”, to the improvement of medical attention and living conditions, as well as to the implementation of new civic regulations. This bilingual issue n°40 of MEI, a peer reviewed journal published in Paris, attempts to demonstrate how the interaction between public health and communication sets up propaganda of a new hygiene ideology promoting self-care and social government which benefits the entire community. Hinging on key concepts of contemporary liberalism such as self-responsibility, free will and non-discriminatory universalism, public health communication covers several dimensions: customs (different cultural practices, representations, and sensibility), types (definition of the at-risk-population and vulnerable people), political (promotion of the hygiene ideology), and state dimension (adoption of new social regulations). This issue of MEI is inscribed in an interdisciplinary framework, embracing information sciences, CDA, visual semiotics, political science, and linguistics. The research corpus includes different Medias which are likely to influence public opinion: web sites, social networks, advertising TV campaigns, posters, adverts, leaflets, and brochures. To be published in spring 2017.

Please send abstracts of one page by the end of October 2016.
