Experience Report

Embodiment the Informations about the Premier Hospital’s Self-Isolation

Abstract

This is an experience report composed by us, two communication researchers, when we found different information about the self-isolation of the Premier Hospital. This decision of total and unrestricted isolation was taken as a way to avoid contagion in the Hospital (specialized in Palliative Care) by the new coronavirus and lasted about 100 days, during which time we followed the journalistic articles published. Our text aims to investigate what happens to the body in the face of different media narratives about this initiative, placing it (the body) in the centrality of communication processes. How does information act on the bodies with which it is found? Thus, with emphasis on the relationship between information and our bodies, through the lens of Corpomedia Theory, we weave this experience report, which is justified by the need to continue disseminating successful actions in the face of a health crisis of international scope and the need to contribute to critical reflections on the implication of the field of communication in the construction of bodies, emphasizing the relationship of the body with the environment.
