- This book results from a 5-year ERC project Visual Representations of the Third Plague Pandemic and from interdisciplinary research: medical & visual anthropology, visual & medical history, critical Global Health, philosophy of science. It involves ethnographic and archival research, and visual and discourse analysis, including analysis of material from a large database of visual material collected and made available open access on an online platform by this ERC project. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the emergence of the notion of the pandemic and understandings of its impact on the future of humankind over a 120 year period.
