This temporal imaginary leverages a broad distinction between wild and domestic animals to naturalize Western geographies as low-risk and human spaces and populations in the Global South as the global origin for pandemic threats. To examine these narratives, I draw on nearly 50 scientific publications produced by PREDICT, one of the largest global viral discovery and pandemic risk assessment programs to date. In doing so, I illustrate how ideas about epidemic time help (re)produce Orientalist spatial imaginaries as well as how wildness not only marks animals as belonging to a different <i>place</i> than (certain) humans, but also to a different time.</p>","PeriodicalId":8241,"journal":{"name":"Antipode","volume":"58 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anti.70201","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148942276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
