摘要

摘要：本文探讨了文学史作为流行病学调查的一部分的潜力。它考虑了利用健康框架的社会决定因素的必要性如何促使人们远离流行病学图，特别是疫情叙事的前进轨迹及其将遏制作为新出现感染的解决方案的特权。相反，有机会探索有关当今结构性不平等历史的数据如何提供更好的方法来对抗疫情的有害影响。通过对哈里特·威尔逊的小说《我们的尼日利亚》的分析，本文提出了一些临时的方法，文学史和那些在文学史方面有专业知识的人可以证明这是一种未开发的资源，可以增加我们对如何防止有色人种患疾病、虚弱和死亡的过度风险的认识。

Considering Epidemiology's Need for Literary History

Abstract:This essay explores the potential for literary history to be useful as a part of epidemiological sleuthing. It considers how an imperative to employ social determinants of health frameworks incites movement away from epidemiological plots, particularly the forward trajectory of the outbreak narrative and its privileging of containment as the solution to emerging infections. Instead, opportunities arise to explore how data about the history of present-day structural inequities offer better ways to combat the deleterious effects of outbreaks. Through an analysis of Harriet Wilson's novel Our Nig, this essay lays out provisional ways in which literary history and those with expertise in it may prove an untapped resource for increasing our knowledge of how to prevent disproportionate risk of disease, debility, and death for people of color.

期刊介绍： A respected forum since 1962 for peer-reviewed work in English literary studies, English Language Notes - ELN - has undergone an extensive makeover as a semiannual journal devoted exclusively to special topics in all fields of literary and cultural studies. ELN is dedicated to interdisciplinary and collaborative work among literary scholarship and fields as disparate as theology, fine arts, history, geography, philosophy, and science. The new journal provides a unique forum for cutting-edge debate and exchange among university-affiliated and independent scholars, artists of all kinds, and academic as well as cultural institutions. As our diverse group of contributors demonstrates, ELN reaches across national and international boundaries.
