This monograph represents an expansion and deepening of previous works by Ole J. Benedictow - the author of highly esteemed monographs and articles on the history of plague epidemics and historical demography. In the form of a collection of articles, the author presents an in-depth monographic study on the history of plague epidemics in Scandinavian countries and on controversies of the microbiological and epidemiological fundamentals of plague epidemics.

Créée en mai 1590 dans l’urgence d’une épidémie de peste naissante, l’infirmerie de peste des Fédons ne fut utilisée que durant trois à quatre mois puis disparut ensuite rapidement du paysage et de la mémoire des habitants de la bourgade provençale de Lambesc. C’est à l’occasion des travaux du TGV Méditerranée entrepris en 1996 qu’une opération de sauvetage archéologique, conduite par l’Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives (INRAP), permit la découverte du cimetière associé à cette infirmerie. La fouille exhaustive de l’espace funéraire a fourni de nombreux témoignages matériels autour desquels les compétences les plus diverses ont été déployées pour retracer l’histoire de cette infirmerie et son fonctionnement mais aussi pour caractériser ses patients. Il apparaît ainsi que, lieu de quarantaine autant que lieu de soin, l’infirmerie de peste était régie par des pratiques et des objectifs sanitaires bien éloignés des tableaux catastrophistes souvent dressés dans la littérature et l’art figuré. L’analyse de cet échantillon ostéologique de 133 individus, unique en son genre, a offert l’opportunité d’appréhender les comportements funéraires, l’organisation et la gestion des morts dans ce contexte culturel très particulier. La mise en œuvre de la plupart des outils de l’anthropologie (démographie, paléopathologie, etc.) a également permis de préciser le recrutement de l’infirmerie - toute la population infestée n’y trouvait pas place - et la ponction démographique opérée par l’épidémie - les populations et les autorités réagissaient différemment selon l’espacement et l’intensité des crises. L’échantillon osseux a également été mis à profit pour des investigations originales dans le domaine de la biologie moléculaire, en vue de l’identification du bacille de la peste ou de la détermination de la saison de la mort à partir du cément dentaire.

This book is about the literary culture that emerged during and in the aftermath of the Great Plague of London (1665). Textual transmission impacted upon and simultaneously was impacted by the events of the plague. This book examines the role of print and manuscript cultures on representations of the disease through micro-histories and case studies of writing from that time, interpreting the place of these media and the construction of authorship during the outbreak. The macabre history of plague in early modern England largely ended with the Great Plague of London, and the miscellany of plague writings that responded to the epidemic forms the subject of this book.

Challenging the concept that since the discovery of the plague bacillus in 1894 the study of the disease was dominated by bacteriology, Ethnographic Plague argues for the role of ethnography as a vital contributor to the configuration of plague at the turn of the nineteenth century. With a focus on research on the Chinese-Russian frontier, where a series of pneumonic plague epidemics shook the Chinese, Russian and Japanese Empires, this book examines how native Mongols and Buryats came to be understood as holding a traditional knowledge of the disease. Exploring the forging and consequences of this alluring theory, this book seeks to understand medical fascination with culture, so as to underline the limitations of the employment of the latter as an explanatory category in the context of infectious disease epidemics, such as the recent SARS and Ebola outbreaks.
