商品描述
This book examines what it means to live in an epidemiological reality, exploring the worldbuilding properties of epidemiology through the lens of critical theory, literary analysis, and visual culture. Whether we want it or not, we live in a world made of statistical correlations, risk factors, and social determinants of health, animal reservoirs and spillovers, containment strategies and curves to be flattened, prophylactic measures, and syndromic surveillance systems detecting in real-time potential outbreaks. This book uses a series of vignettes to show that we have lived in a version of that reality for quite some time now, even before the formalization of epidemiological tools and concepts at the beginning of the twentieth century.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書探討了生活在流行病學現實中的意義，通過批判理論、文學分析和視覺文化的視角來探索流行病學的世界建構特性。無論我們是否願意，我們生活在一個由統計相關性、風險因素和健康的社會決定因素、動物儲存庫和溢出、控制策略以及需要平坦化的曲線、預防措施和即時檢測潛在疫情的綜合監測系統所構成的世界中。這本書使用一系列小插曲來顯示，我們在這種現實的某個版本中生活了相當長的時間，甚至在二十世紀初流行病學工具和概念正式化之前。
