The outbreak narrative study stresses how the social discourses form the authority of science and deflect the attention towards the structure problems throughout contagions. 作者整理“爆發敘事”的文本錶述並還原其協同形成流行病學話語的經過,析齣“零號病人”汙名背後的內涵。它不過是基於種族、地域、gender、政治而設的他者恐懼。“傷寒瑪麗”的故事生動地反映社會變遷之際對邊界外的恐懼如何詮釋“傳染”如何規訓群體內部。作者呼籲,這類話語讓人看不到傳染病背後的全球不平等、北對南的壓迫及社會中的結構性問題,傳達齣強烈的社會關懷。

How should we understand the fear and fascination elicited by accounts of communicable disease outbreaks that proliferated, following the emergence of HIV, in scientific publications and the mainstream media? The repetition of particular characters, images, and story lines - of Patients Zero and superspreaders, hot zones and tenacious microbes - produced a formulaic narrative as they circulated through the media and were amplified in popular fiction and film. The 'outbreak narrative' begins with the identification of an emerging infection, follows it through the global networks of contact and contagion, and ends with the epidemiological work that contains it. Priscilla Wald argues that we need to understand the appeal and persistence of the outbreak narrative because the stories we tell about disease emergence have consequences. As they disseminate information, they affect survival rates and contagion routes. They upset economies. They promote or mitigate the stigmatizing of individuals, groups, locales, behaviors, and lifestyles. Wald traces how changing ideas about disease emergence and social interaction coalesced in the outbreak narrative. She returns to the early years of microbiology - to the identification of microbes and 'Typhoid Mary', the first known healthy human carrier of typhoid in the United States - to highlight the intertwined production of sociological theories of group formation ('social contagion') and medical theories of bacteriological infection at the turn of the twentieth century. Following the evolution of these ideas, Wald shows how they were affected by - or reflected in - the advent of virology, Cold War ideas about 'alien' infiltration, science-fiction stories of brainwashing and body snatchers, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. "Contagious" is a cautionary tale about how the stories we tell circumscribe our thinking about global health and human interactions as the world imagines - or refuses to imagine - the next Great Plague.
