Project description
A closer look at how viruses are portrayed
What are the cultural and social perceptions of viruses in Asia? How have viruses been represented throughout history? How are these narratives shaping public understanding and response to viruses? With support from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the VICR project will answer these questions. It will focus on the differences between viruses being portrayed as routine versus crises, and how these narratives shape people’s reactions to them. It will also study the historical layering present in Asian popular culture and analyse how historical parallels are used to tell the story of viruses. The goal is to draw lessons and compare the Asian experience with viruses and those of Europe and the rest of the world.
Objective
This action interrogates the social and cultural interpretations and narratives of viruses in Asia. It focuses specifically on how viruses have been historically narrated, interrogating the framings of viruses as routine versus viruses as crisis. To examine these framings, this action will interrogate the historical layering mobilized in Asian popular culture. By analyzing these reflections of viruses alongside how people respond to them, the action will query how historical parallels are used to narrativize the virus, making “the virus” a knowable entity. The overall goal of this action is to elicit the lessons learned from these social and cultural interpretations that can be compared to Europe and the world.
