History of Medical Technologies

I have been engaged in three research projects related to the History of Medical Technologies. Specifically, we analyzed the visual representation of medical technologies in NO-DO, the Spanish official newsreel produced by Franco's dictatorship (1939-1975), which held a 30-year monopoly over audio-visual information in Spain. The analysis reveals a clear link between representations of medical technologies and the process of constructing a unified national identity. We also delved into public perceptions of atomic energy and radioactivity in Spain from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s, particularly through the analysis of nuclear medicine technologies screened in NO-DO
