From seventeenth-century broadsides about the handling of dead
bodies, printed during London's plague years, to YouTube videos
about preventing the transmission of STDs, public health advocacy
and education has always had a powerful visual component. Imagining
Illness explores the diverse visual culture of public health,
broadly defined, from the nineteenth century to the present.
Contributors to this volume examine historical and contemporary
visual practices-Chinese health fairs, documentary films produced
by the World Health Organization, illness maps, fashions for
nurses, and live surgery on the Internet-in order to delve into the
political and epidemiological contexts underlying their creation
and dissemination. Contributors: Liping Bu, Alma College; Lisa
