The film's sexualized patient zero plotline demands further scrutiny, however. This essay first traces the evolution of the myth of patient zero throughout the twentieth century, documenting how it fuses the highly stigmatized concepts of scapegoat, superspreader, and slut into both a seemingly innocuous stock character and an established feature of outbreak narrative. Contextualizing Contagion's infidelity plot through the myth of patient zero, this essay then critiques the film's patriarchal and homophobic impulses, encouraging us to reimagine our conceptions of risk, blame, and social connection.</p>","PeriodicalId":44538,"journal":{"name":"LITERATURE AND MEDICINE","volume":"42 2","pages":"296-320"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a time when cold exposure was linked to sickness, how do we account for the widespread appeal of the cold water regimen?

While addressing the medicalization of dying and the efficacy of palliative care, both texts engage pervasively with visual culture. This emphasis on the visual arts and cinema provides a thought-provoking commentary on the protagonists' experience of witnessing the gradual erosion of verbal expression in their dying loved ones.
