Discrimination, stigmatization, xenophobia, heightened
securitization - fear and blaming of "aliens within" - characterize
the world infected by COVID-19. Such fears have a long cultural
history, however, particularly in connecting pathology with race,
poverty, and migration. This volume explores theory and narratives
of disease, danger, and displacement through the lenses of
cultural, literary, and film studies, historical representation,
ethnics studies, sociology and cultural geography, classics, music,
and linguistics. Investigations range from, for example, illness
discourse in the ancient classics to images of perilous intruders
in the Age of Trump, from the Haitian Revolution and subsequent
zombie stereotypes to current, problematic refugee resettlement in
the US South and Greek islands, from the urban underworld in
nineteenth-century sensation novels to ethnic women "on the stroll"
in coronavirus times. The collection is organized into three
thematically intertwined parts: Stigmatizing the Racialized
Underclass; Pathologizing the Other; Constructing and Countering
Collapse. It examines changing or recurrent aporias in tropes of
belonging and exclusion, as well as the birthing of new forms of
identity, agency, and countercultural expression.
