Language, Literacy, and Health: Discourse in Brazils National
Health System analyzes language, literacy, and health as social
practices, with a focus on Brazils national health system, the
Unified Health System (SUS). The SUS was established in the 1990s,
offering free consultations, health promotion activities, and home
visits by a professional team to the Brazilian population, and of
particular interest is the Family Health Strategy program. This
book is based on research conducted in two different Brazilian
regions, the Northeast and the Southeast. Izabel Magalhaes and
Kenia Lara da Silva discuss language and literacy as discourse-a
very important dimension of health practice-and different uses of
texts, including multimodal texts. The research and analysis, and
the authors' ethnographic approach, bring to light some issues with
SUS practices, and the authors suggest improvements. The book
contributes to the debate about language and literacy in health
practices, in which patients are partly responsible for keeping
well.
