Contagion and Anarchy: Matthew Arnold and the Disease of Modern Life; Lorenzo Servitje -- Chapter 2. Dark Zones: The Ebola Body as a Configuration of Horror; Catherine Belling -- Chapter 3.

The Writing is on the Wall: Epidemiology and the Anticipated Ends of Social Media; Kimberly Hall -- Part III. Theorizing the Politics of Contagion in a Neoliberal World -- Chapter 6. Intestine Disorder: Neoliberalism Biomial Politics; Robert Geroux -- Chapter e Shootings, Neuroscientifc Imaginaries and Neuroscientifc Futures; Stephen Casper -- Chapter 8. Infecting Humanness: A Critique of the Autonomous Self in Contagion; Yunjin Woo -- Part IV. Reconstructing Contagion -- Chapter 9. Thinking like a Virus: Contagion, Postmodernist Epistemology, and Ethics; Mathieu Donner -- Chapter 10. Figuring the Other Within: The Gendered Underpinnings of Germ Narratives; Laurel Bollinger -- Chapter 11. Dying a Natural Death: Ethics and Political Activism for Endemic Disease; Claire Hooker et al.

This book develops a new multimodal theoretical model of contagion for interdisciplinary scholars, featuring contributions from influential scholars spanning the fields of medical humanities, philosophy, political science, media studies, technoculture, literature, and bioethics. Exploring the nexus of contagion's metaphorical and material aspects, this volume contends that contagiousness in its digital, metaphorical, and biological forms is a pervasively endemic condition in our contemporary moment. The chapters explore both endemicity itself and how epidemic discourse has become endemic to processes of social construction. Designed to simultaneously prime those new to the discourse of humanistic perspectives of contagion, complicate issues of interest to seasoned scholars of science and technology studies, and add new topics for debate and inquiry in the field of bioethics, Endemicwill be of wide interest for researchers and educators.
