Immunity and Community : Identity, Ethics, and Biopolitics

This volume critically investigates the intersection of immunity and community, offering innovative perspectives on public policy and health, medical humanities, and ethics in the post-COVID era. Drawing on frameworks from medical humanities, biopolitics, and ethics, the multidisciplinary contributors interrogate how immunization protocols reflect and reshape societal dynamics—illuminating the ways power, vulnerability, and identity are negotiated in public health discourse. With chapters exploring topics such as migration, representation, global governance, and the logic of action, the book offers a compelling critique of immunitary regimes and their impact on the social body. Rich in theoretical insight and grounded in contemporary relevance, this work will be useful reading for academics, policy makers, and students seeking to understand the cultural and political stakes of life preservation in a post-pandemic world.
