{"product_id":"endemic-kari-nixon-9781137521408","title":"Endemic: Essays in Contagion Theory","description":"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. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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, \u003ci\u003eEndemic\u003c\/i\u003e will be of wide interest for researchers and educators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kari Nixon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137521406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137521408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.63h x 6.08w x 0.85d","brand":"Kari Nixon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087672488191,"sku":"9781137521408","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7caa0b0-d900-4cdc-9e54-dbf3c40ed268.jpg?v=1769100761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/endemic-kari-nixon-9781137521408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
