Pandemic Re-Awakenings offers a multi-level and multi-faceted
exploration of a century of remembering, forgetting, and
rediscovering the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, arguably the
greatest catastrophe in human history. Twenty-three researchers
present original perspectives by critically investigating the
hitherto unexplored vicissitudes of memory in the interrelated
spheres of personal, communal, medical, and cultural histories in
different national and transnational settings across the globe. The
volume reveals how, even though the Great Flu was overshadowed by
the commemorative culture of the Great War, recollections of the
pandemic persisted over time to re-emerge towards the centenary of
the 'Spanish' Flu and burst into public consciousness following the
outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters chart
historiographical neglect (while acknowledging the often-unnoticed
dialogues between scientific and historical discourses), probe
silences, and trace vestiges of social and cultural memories that
long remained outside of what was considered collective memory.
