Unprecedented Times? – Socio-Cultural Responses to Pandemic in Historical Perspective
Media coverage of Covid-19 makes much of the extraordinary circumstances in which we are now living. It seems no one can go a day without hearing or using the word: unprecedented. But is this true? Please join UFV faculty Michael Corman and Adrianna Bakos for a brief presentation, followed by open discussion that considers both historical and contemporary cultural constructions of the pandemic narrative. Questions include: why do we need an “Other” on whom to hang blame for an outbreak? What do the particular characteristics of the blamed “Other” reveal about the cultural anxieties that plague a given community? And is pandemic disease the socio-cultural disruptor we never knew we needed?
