Expanded from a touring exhibition originated at Para Site in 2013, this book critically analyses historical and contemporary imaginations and politics of fear in the face of disease and the spectre of contamination in society and culture.
While composing a complex picture of the Hong Kong psyche, these contributions speak from a humanistic and global perspective, pointing to the intersections of urban environments and post-colonial psychology, popular culture and racism, public health and migration, national identity and art.
