General description
The purpose of this course is twofold: to explore the field of health in the broadest sense from the perspective of the social sciences and to discuss core issues of social sciences in the light of the phenomena related to health, disability and dependence. It pretends to systematize and convey the main empirical findings and theoretical and conceptual formulations produced by sociology to examine health, disability and dependence. From a plural and open to different current proposals this subject is intended to provide knowledge to understand not only that processes and phenomena of health, disability and dependence are intrinsically involved in its genesis, development and consequences to culture and society in which populations live and breed, but also that such phenomena and processes constitute and are constructed as socio-cultural realities.
