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