Description

Explore the connection between biological immunity and social structures with Social and Cultural Lives of Immune Systems. Published by Routledge as part of the Theory and Practice in Medical Anthropology series, this book presents a new hypothesis in medico-social theory. It suggests that immunity and disease are partially shaped by social contexts rather than existing solely as biological processes. This collection brings together twelve papers from leading scholars to examine how immune systems act as symbolic concepts with political meaning. By combining perspectives from sociology, psychology, immunology, and body theory, the text provides a deep look into how social and emotional pressures impact health. It is an essential resource for those studying how the imagery of immunity influences social and semiotic responses in the modern world.
