Human Extinction and the Pandemic Imaginary

By Christos Lynteris

Book Overview

Nested in debates among anthropologists, philosophers, social theorists and STS scholars, this book argues that global fascination with the 'next pandemic' stems not so much from anticipation of biological extinction of human species, as from expectation of loss of mastery over human-animal relations, as ontological pivot of humanity.
