This book develops a nonlinear historical model that revises their unique role in the inception of national cinematography and establishing supranational health security. Readers witness the revelation of an unknown history, concerning how the health films produced in Eastern European countries not only adopted Western patterns of propaganda but actively participated in its formation, especially with regard to those considered "others": women and the populations of the periphery. The authors elaborate the long "echo" of the discursive practices introduced by health films within public health propaganda, as well as the attempts to negate and deconstruct such practices by rebellious filmmakers. A wide range of methods, including the analysis of the sociological biographies of filmmakers, the historical reconstruction of public campaigns against diseases, and an investigation into the production of health films, contextualizes these films along a multifaceted continuum stretching between the adaptation of global patterns and the cultivation of national authenticities. The book is aimed at those who study the history of film, the history of public health, Central and Eastern European countries, and global history"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMotion pictures in health education$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures in health education$zEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Germany$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 615 0$aMotion pictures in health education$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures in health education$xHistory. 615 7$aHISTORY / General 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Germany 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet Union 676 $a362.10943 700 $aShmidt$b Victoria R.$01549228 702 $aKaser$b Karl$f1954-2022, 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 912 $a9910776161603321 996 $aA critical history of health films in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond$93840114 997 $aUNINA
