Examining airborne diseases from the perspectives of literary studies, cultural studies, environmental humanities, and health humanities, among other fields, "Cultures of Airborne Diseases" platforms significant discourse engaging with air, pollution, viruses, and health. The articles that constitute this special journal issue consider representations of airborne diseases, directly interrogating how such representations help us better understand the complexity of air in the context of epidemics and pandemics. The contributors address topics inclusive of, but not limited to, contagion and transmission, air, air pollution, environmental crisis, cultural representations of disease and health, and questions of protection in an era of pandemics.
