Abstract

This book brings together scholars from different fields to think of our present during the time of COVID-19 pandemic in a longer temporal frame. It looks at the current crises of life and livelihood following the global epidemiological crisis and various strategies to manage them as a long unfolding of past trends and future possibilities of epidemiological governance, restructuring of economy and public health policies, systems of protection and care, and the role of state in that. The articles compiled here range from historical narratives, ethnographic accounts, socio-economic analyses to more conceptual and theoretical pieces. Along with this notion of the ‘long’, the chapters collected in this volume have variously deployed the Braudelian idea of the longue durée, insights from medical and environmental histories, and the debates and discussion around the concept of the Anthropocene to understand the structural components of epidemiological crises at different moments of early modern and modern history.
