Drawing on a large database of twentieth- and twenty-first-century films depicting epidemics, the study looks into issues including trust, distrust, and mistrust; different epidemic experiences down the lines of expertise, gender, and wealth; and the difficulties in visualizing the invisible pathogen on screen. The authors argue that epidemics have long been presented in cinema as forming a point of cohesion for the communities portrayed, as individuals and groups "from below" represented as characters in these films find solidarity in a common enemy comprising of elite institutions and authority figures. Throughout the book, a central question is also posed: "cohesion for whom?", which sheds light on the inequality and contingency of the depicted subjects and embodiment of the characters. This book is a valuable reference for scholars and students of film studies and visual studies as well as academic and general readers interested in topics of films and history, and disease and society"-- Provided by publisher. 606 $aEpidemics in motion pictures 610 $aCinema 610 $aEpidemics 610 $aFilm Studies 610 $aSocial Vulnerability 615 0$aEpidemics in motion pictures. 676 $a791.4361 700 $aHan$b Qijun$01272336 702 $aCurtis$b Daniel R. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910513699303321 996 $aInfectious inequalities$92996771 997 $aUNINA
