An Ibero-American Perspective on Narratives of Pandemics is a
critique of the realities of the pandemic in the Ibero-American
world and its intertwined relationship with the environment.
Through a critical gaze into the history of the region as it has
evolved through periods of socio-environmental and cultural
conflicts, the book chronicles multiple experiences of how people
managed to negotiate multiple crises on a daily basis by often
clinging to their age old cultural and healing practices, as well
as the humanistic representation of such experiences in various
fictional and nonfictional writings. The contributors expose the
biopolitics around COVID-19 and its effects particularly on
marginalised populations and the environment in an effort to
consider the complexity of the pandemic in its multiple dimensions.
They evaluate it through climatic, socioeconomic, political,
scientific, and cultural lenses that they argue shaped the
realities of the pandemic. They also take a close look at the use
and effects of language in virtual spaces, implying it has the
ability to construct/mis-construct reality in this postmodern
world, arguing there is a need for a new environmental ethic
post-pandemic.
