Exploring the interplay between language and violence, this book delves into how pandemics, from the Black Death to COVID-19, have shaped societal discourse. It examines the linguistic responses to disease, the cultural implications of plague narratives, and the ways in which language can both reflect and exacerbate societal tensions during times of crisis. By analyzing historical texts and contemporary responses, the author reveals the enduring impact of pandemics on communication and collective memory.
