Moving from viruses, vaccines, and copycat murder to gay panics, xenophobia, and psychopaths, Transforming Contagion fuses critical humanities and social science perspectives into a boundary-smashing interdisciplinary collection on contagion. The contributors suggest contagion to be as full of possibilities for revolution and resistance as it is for madness, malice, and state control.
