Lee examines the human response to epidemics through the lens of the 2003 SARS epidemic. Societies usually respond to the eruption of disease by constructing stories, jokes, conspiracy theories, legends, and rumors, but these narratives are often more damaging than the diseases they reference. The information disseminated through them is often inaccurate, incorporating xenophobic explanations of the disease's origins and questionable medical information about potential cures and treatment. Folklore studies brings important and useful perspectives to understanding cultural responses to the outbreak of disease. Through this etiological study Lee shows the similarities between the narratives of the SARS outbreak and the narratives of other contemporary disease outbreaks like AIDS and the H1N1 virus. His analysis suggests that these disease narratives do not spring up with new outbreaks or diseases but are in continuous circulation and are recycled opportunistically. Lee also explores whether this predictability of vernacular disease narratives presents the opportunity to create counter-narratives released systematically from the government or medical science to stymie the negative effects of the fearful rumors that so often inflame humanity. With potential for practical application to public health and health policy, An Epidemic of Rumors will be of interest to students and scholars of health, medicine, and folklore"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEpidemics 606 $aEpidemics$xSocial aspects 606 $aCommunicable diseases$xPublic opinion$xPsychological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEpidemics. 615 0$aEpidemics$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xPublic opinion$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a614.4 700 $aLee$b Jon D.$01036055 702 $aMiller$b Dan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463759803321 996 $aAn epidemic of rumors$92456155 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01203nam a2200337 i 4500 001 991001271519707536 005 20020507113707.0 008 930424s1987 ||| ||| | eng 020 $a9971500234 035 $ab10197321-39ule_inst 035 $aLE00644977$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Fisica$bita 084 $a53.1.6 084 $a53.1.68 084 $a001.53'9 084 $a510.94 084 $aQ360.E734 100 1 $aEriksson, K.$0464087 245 10$aStructure, context, complexity, organization :$bphysical aspects of information and value /$cKarl-Erik Eriksson, Kristian Lindgren, Bengt A.
