Inhalt:

From SARS to Zika, and Ebola to COVID-19, epidemics and pandemics have become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Each outbreak presents new challenges but the responses are often the same. This important book explores the dimensions, dynamics and implications of the emerging pandemic society. Drawing on ideas from sociology and science 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 the pandemic society, including the expansion of technologies of surveillance and control, as well as the prospects of social renewal created by economic and social disruption.
