The chapters in this book illuminate to what extent the image of plague has not simply reflected, but also impacted the way in which the disease is experienced in different historical periods. The book asks what is the contribution of the entanglement between epidemic image and imagination to the persistence of plague as a category of human suffering across so many centuries, in spite of profound shifts in our medical understanding of the disease. What is it that makes plague such a visually charismatic subject? And why is the medical, religious and lay imagination of plague so consistently determined by the visual register? In answering these questions, this volume takes the study of plague images beyond its usual, art-historical framework, so as to examine them and their relation to the imagination of plague from medical, historical, visual anthropological, and postcolonial perspectives.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Disease; Pandemic; Bubonic Plague; Anthropology; Medieval history; Photography; Aesthetics; Infectious dise | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-72304-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-72306-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-72304-0 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
