Contributors focus on the effects of COVID-19 on everyday life, drawing also on insights from different historical experiences of plague as a way of exploring human responses to epidemics, past and present. Each chapter opens with a different illustration that serves as a source for subsequent discussion, enabling readers to make connections between everyday objects, experiences, and broader critical debates about plague and its impact on humanity. Thought-provoking commentaries stem from a variety of humanities disciplines including archaeology, electronic literature, history, linguistics, media and cultural studies, and musicology.Encountering the Plague explores ways in which humanities research can play a meaningful role in key social and political debates, and provides compelling examples of how the past can inform our understanding of the present.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 244mmItem Length: 170mmContributor: Wojciech Sowa (Edited by), Tony Whyton (Edited by)Author: Wojciech SowaGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesBook Series: BCMCR New Directions in Media and Cultural ResearchRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
