These accounts of (previously) experienced or imagined health crises feature a great variety of protagonists and their (re)actions in response to the exceptional circumstances. The contributors to this volume take a closer look at different pandemic protagonists in fictional narratives relating to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as in existing pandemic fictions. Thereby they provide new insights into pandemic narratives from a cultural, literary, and media studies perspective from antiquity to today. 410 0$aCulture & theory. 606 $aEpidemics in motion pictures 610 $aCovid-19. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aCulture. 610 $aFilm. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedia. 610 $aMedicine. 610 $aPandemic. 615 0$aEpidemics in motion pictures. 676 $a791.4361 702 $aVo?lkl$b Yvonne 702 $aObermayr$b Julia 702 $aHobisch$b Elisabeth 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996524969803316 996 $aPandemic Protagonists$93090064 997 $aUNISA
