Abstract
Throughout its history, South America has suffered several biological disasters, some of which have strongly affected the cultural, artistic and spiritual life of local communities, conditioning their beliefs, religious practices and political responses. This seminar explores, through three case studies, the socio-cultural consequences of some episodes of pandemics on the Latin American imagery, from the colonial period to the present day.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge Disaster Research Network series.
