Offering a comprehensive analysis of mediated representations of
global pandemics, this book engages with the construction,
management, and classification of difference in the global context
of a pandemic, to address what it means - culturally, politically,
and economically - to live in an infected, diseased body. Marina
Levina argues that mediated representations are essential in
translating and making sense of difference as a category of
subjectivity and as a mode of organizing and distributing change.
Using textual analysis of media texts on pandemics and disease, she
illustrates how they represent a larger mediascape that drafts
stories of global instabilities and global health. Levina explains
how the stories we tell about disease matter; that the media is
instrumental in constructing and disseminating these stories; and
that mediated narratives of pandemics are rooted in global flows of
policies, commerce, and populations. Pandemics are, by definition,
global crises.
