Each outbreak presents new challenges but the responses are often similar. This important book explores the dimensions, dynamics and implications of emerging pandemic societies. Drawing on ideas from sociology and science and technology studies, it sheds new light on how pandemics are socially produced and, in turn, shape societies in areas such as governance, work and recreation, science and technology, education, and family life. It offers pointers to the future of pandemic societies, including the expansion of technologies of surveillance and control, as well as the prospects of social renewal created by economic and social disruption.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Alan PetersenGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Medicine, Science Nature & MathSubtitle: A Critical Public Health PerspectiveRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
