[ca] En aquesta ocasió, la secció de diàleg s'ha organitzat entre dos especialistes: Esteban Ro- dríguez Ocaña, catedràtic d'Història de la Medicina i Col·laborador extraordinari del Depar- tament d'Anatomia Patològica i Història de la Ciència de la Universitat de Granada i Joan Benach, Catedràtic del Departament de Ciències Polítiques i Socials de la Universitat Pompeu Fabra. La proposta es mantenir una conversa que consisteix a abordar de manera analítica la salut pública des d'una perspectiva històrica i alhora com una qüestió central en clau de present i futur de la societat actual. Als dos reconeguts especialistes se'ls demana que aportin les seves reflexions sobre aquest as- sumpte des de camps disciplinaris diferents, amb l'objectiu principal d'oferir a les historiadors i historiadores instruments teòrics i metodològics amb què abordar els problemes i els models que ha plantejat i planteja la noció de "salut pública". En els moments actuals ens sembla que aquest exercici contribueix a enfortir algunes de les línies de recerca ja existents i estimular noves línies amb què pensar el present en clau històrica. Finalment, ens sembla que val la pena esmentar que l'enregistrament d'aquest diàleg, poste- riorment transcrit per Andrea Tappi i revisat tant pels autors com per nosaltres com a editors, ha estat utilitzat com una activitat per als alumnes de l'assignatura "Pensar la Història Escoles, Teories i Interpretacions" de Primer Curs de Grau impartit a la Secció d'Història Contem- porània i Món Actual del Departament d'Història i Arqueologia de la Universitat de Barcelona. Els resultats obtinguts en aquesta pràctica, amb els informes lliurats del seu seguiment, i la resposta molt positiva que ofereix l'alumnat seria molt probablement matèria d'un altre diàleg futur sobre l'ensenyament universitari de la Història.

[en] On this occasion, the dialogue section has been organized between two specialists: Esteban Rodríguez Ocaña, Professor of History of Medicine and Special Collaborator of the Depart- ment of Pathological Anatomy and History of Science of the University of Granada, and Joan Benach, Professor of the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra University. It is a proposal for a dialogue that consists of analytically approaching public health from a historical perspective and, at the same time, as a central issue in terms of the present and future of today's society. The two renowned specialists were asked to contribute their reflections on this matter from different disciplinary fields, with the main objective of offering historians theoretical and methodological instruments with which to address the problems and models posed by the notion of "public health". At present, it seems to us that this exercise contributed to the strengthening of some of the already existing research lines, and to stimulating new lines with which to think about present time in a historical key. Finally, we think it is worth mentioning that the recording of this dialogue, later transcribed by Andrea Tappi and reviewed both by the authors and by us as editors, has been used as an activity for the students of the subject "Thinking History. Schools, Theories and Interpreta- tions" of the First Degree Course, taught in the Contemporary History and Current World Section of the Department of History and Archaeology of the University of Barcelona.The results obtained in this activity, with the reports delivered on its follow-up, as well as the very positive response of the students, would most likely be the subject of another future dialogue, focused on university teaching of History.
