Abstract


Myocardial infarction is a heart disease primarily defined by cardiology as a branch of medicine. In addition to medicine, psychology made its contribution to a broader understanding of this disease. Therefore, the discourse of medicine approaches myocardial infarction by following objective indicators, and the discourse of psychology by following subjective experiences. The point of reconciliation of the opposing positions is sought in this work from the point of view of cultural studies. They provide a basis for viewing the same object of observation within a certain media format through theories of representations, but also the theoretical basis of medicine and psychology. Starting from the mentioned platform, within this work we will analyse different positions, functions and the narrative of the media representation of myocardial infarction in the feature film “Balkan Spy” using the method of content analysis. The aim of the paper is to examine, analyse and describe the way in which the observed feature film constructs and produces media narratives about myocardial infarction, as well as what discourse strategies media workers resort to when contextualising myocardial infarction and people suffering from this disease.


Keywords
