Webconference | THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO AND THE SPANISH FLU: the right of emergency and the authoritarian administrative discourse (1918-1919)
Epidemic diseases, throughout history, have been transpassed through by political and social factors, affecting different groups of people and enabling a range of responses. Historically, epidemics and ideologies spread in the same way, providing the emergence of social conflicts and resistance to interventionism and attempts to medicalize society.
The classification of a state as a disease is not a socially neutral process, and in health administration it becomes a fine line between legitimacy and stigma. At the same time, the impact caused by epidemic disease on society could become a factor of legitimization of government intervention, through legislation that would establish a form of social control, reformulating the relationships between individuals and between individuals and institutions.
In this sense, Ius Commune presents the webconference “THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO AND THE SPANISH FLU: the right of emergency and the authoritarian administrative discourse (1918-1919)”, to be held next Tuesday, 24/11, at 16:30, by the Google Meet platform. The web conference will be recorded and made available on our Youtube channel. Participation in the webconference grants 2h certificate/class. The link to participate will be sent to subscribers. It will be attended by Gabriel Faustino Santos, as a lecturer; Marja Mangili, as a commentator; and Professor Diego Nunes, as mediator.
