How epidemic photography during a global pandemic of bubonic plague contributed to the development of modern epidemiology and our concept of the “pandemic.”

In Visual Plague, Christos Lynteris examines the emergence of epidemic photography during the third plague pandemic (1894–1959), a global pandemic of bubonic plague that led to over twelve million deaths. Unlike medical photography, epidemic photography was not exclusively, or even primarily, concerned with exposing the patient’s body or medical examinations and operations. Instead, it played a key role in reconceptualizing infectious diseases by visualizing the “pandemic” as a new concept and structure of experience—one that frames and responds to the smallest local outbreak of an infectious disease as an event of global importance and consequence.

As the third plague pandemic struck more and more countries, the international circulation of plague photographs in the press generated an unprecedented spectacle of imminent global threat. Nothing contributed to this sense of global interconnectedness, anticipation, and fear more than photography. Exploring the impact of epidemic photography at the time of its emergence, Lynteris highlights its entanglement with colonial politics, epistemologies, and aesthetics, as well as with major shifts in epidemiological thinking and public health practice. He explores the characteristics, uses, and impact of epidemic photography and how it differs from the general corpus of medical photography. The new photography was used not simply to visualize or illustrate a pandemic, but to articulate, respond to, and unsettle key questions of epidemiology and epidemic control, as well as to foster the notion of the “pandemic,” which continues to affect our lives today.

全球大瘟疫期间流行病摄影如何促成了现代流行病学的发展以及我们对“大瘟疫”概念的理解。

在《瘟疫视觉》一书中，克里斯托斯·林特里斯探讨了1894年至1959年第三次鼠疫大流行的流行病摄影的出现。这场全球大瘟疫导致超过十二万五千人死亡。与医学摄影不同，流行病摄影并不是仅或主要是为了暴露患者的身体或医疗检查和手术过程。

相反，它在重新构想传染疾病方面发挥了关键作用，通过可视化“大瘟疫”这一新概念和经验结构，该结构将地方性传染病的最小爆发视为具有全球重要性和后果的重大事件。

随着第三次鼠疫大流行遍及更多国家，新闻界传播的鼠疫照片创造了前所未有的世界威胁景象。没有什么能比摄影更能增强这种全球联系感、预期感和恐惧感。林特里斯在流行病摄影出现时探讨其影响，突出了它与殖民政治、知识体系和美学之间的纠缠关系，以及流行病学思维的重大转变和公共卫生实践中的主要变化。

他探索了流行病摄影的特点、用途及其对医学影像整体的影响，以及它不同于一般医学摄影之处。新摄影并非仅仅用于可视化或说明一次大瘟疫，而是用来阐明、回应并颠覆流行病学的关键问题以及控制流行病的方法，并且有助于形成我们今天仍受到其影响的“大瘟疫”概念。
