Description
Summary:The analysis of media (content) has been dealt with by many communication theorists since the emergence of modern communication theories - the Frankfurt School, British Studies, postmodernist cultural studies, etc. A set of films of some time, claims Rene König, gives us a complete picture of the tiniest oscillations in the feelings and everyday morals of that era. Numerous films have been made in recent years about various epidemics, which are caused by a virus that threatens the human race - its existence, survival, distant destiny. Many of these films are just fiction (The seventh seal, Outbreak, Contagion, Warl war Z,) but some of them (like Variola Vera) describe real events.
