Writing in shadow of the HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 global pandemics, Ghosh theorizes "epidemic media" to show how epidemics are mediated in images, numbers, and movements through the processes of reading test results and tracking infection and mortality rates. Scientific, artistic, and activist epidemic media that make multispecies relations sensible and manageable eschew anthropocentric survival strategies and instead recast global public health crises as biological, social, and ecological catastrophes, pushing us towards a multispecies politics of health. Ghosh trains her analytic gaze on these mediations as expressed in the collection and analysis of blood samples as a form of viral media; the geospatialization of data that track viral hosts like wild primates; and the use of multisensory images to trace fluctuations in viral mutations. Studying how epidemic media inscribe, store, and transmit multispecies relations attunes us to the anthropogenic drivers of pathogenicity like deforestation or illegal wildlife trading and the vulnerabilities of diseases that arise from socioeconomic inequities and biopolitical neglect"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Epidemics in mass media. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) in mass media. 650 0 $a AIDS (Disease) in mass media. 650 0 $a Pandemics $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Health risk communication. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) 650 0 $a Epidemics. 650 0 $a Mass media. 650 12 $a COVID-19 650 22 $a Epidemics 650 22 $a Health Communication 650 22 $a Mass Media 650 6 $a Epidemies dans les medias. 650 6 $a COVID-19 dans les medias. 650 6 $a Sida dans les medias. 650 6 $a Pandemies $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a Risques pour la sante $x Communication. 650 6 $a COVID-19. 650 6 $a Epidemies. 650 6 $a Medias. 650 7 $a epidemics. $2 aat 650 7 $a mass media. $2 aat 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a AIDS (Disease) in mass media $2 fast 650 7 $a COVID-19 (Disease) in mass media $2 fast 650 7 $a Epidemics in mass media $2 fast 650 7 $a Health risk communication $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ghosh, Bishnupriya. $t Virus touch. $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2023 $z 9781478023845 $w (DLC) 2022040235 830 0 $a Experimental futures 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010455.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=498554302E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
