Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Charts the History of the Relationship Between Ecological Thinking and Practices of Disease Control. Health security is inextricably linked to ecology. Among the most recent manifestations of this nexus are concerns over interspecies spillover scenarios, global microbial traffic, and environmental determinants of disease in the time of COVID-19. Ecologies of Disease includes contributions from history, sociology, human geography, cultural anthropology, and case studies from the late 18th century until our present and demonstrates how current modes of ecological reasoning resonate with historical responses to epidemic disease. Dealing with phenomena such as plantation ecologies, spatial vaccination strategies, modelling techniques, or the body as a metabolic milieu, the chapters reveal how relational thinking in disease control has been intricately tied to modes of power. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this collection seeks to start a broader conversation not only about the deeper roots and longer trajectory of our current regime of health security but also about the recent rise of ecological thinking in social theory and the humanities themselves.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ecologies of Disease Control explores the relationship between ecological conceptions of epidemics and forms of infectious disease control. Bringing historical, sociological, anthropological, and geographical case studies from the late eighteenth century to the present into dialogue, contributors unearth a multiplicity of spatial configurations in governing epidemics, putting contemporary health security regimes into historical perspective. Emerging infectious diseases--HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, influenza, SARS, West Nile virus, Marburg virus--and the threat they posed to national security and geopolitical order have incentivized the development of global health security initiatives since the 1990s. Yet, as this volume reveals, various practices of disease control have made epidemic outbreaks a matter of ecological management as well. These practices involve ecosystems and infrastructures, more-than-human mobilities, disease landscapes, elemental atmospheres, metabolic entanglements, and real-time information systems. As scholars in the humanities and social sciences begin to adopt ecology as an analytical framework, this volume offers a critical perspective on the ecological concepts that inform historical and current practices of health security.…
