{"product_id":"pandemics-and-the-media-1","title":"Pandemics and the Media","description":"Offering a comprehensive analysis of mediated representations of global pandemics, this book engages with the construction, management, and classification of difference in the global context of a pandemic, to address what it means – culturally, politically, and economically – to live in an infected, diseased body. Marina Levina argues that mediated representations are essential in translating and making sense of difference as a category of subjectivity and as a mode of organizing and distributing change. Using textual analysis of media texts on pandemics and disease, she illustrates how they represent a larger mediascape that drafts stories of global instabilities and global health. Levina explains how the stories we tell about disease matter; that the media is instrumental in constructing and disseminating these stories; and that mediated narratives of pandemics are rooted in global flows of policies, commerce, and populations. Pandemics are, by definition, global crises.","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224452125016,"sku":"9781433115516","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433115516.jpg?v=1777203942","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/pandemics-and-the-media-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
