Abstract

"Digital Humour in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Perspectives from the Global South" is a collection of dark humor, jokes, and memes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The book explores how social media was used to confront power and reveals globally connected identities. It discusses the use of humor to communicate socio-political and economic realities during the pandemic. The book is divided into three parts, examining laughter amidst crisis, identity politics, and the weaponization of humor to confront political power. While the book primarily features scholars as contributors, it provides valuable insights for students, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals interested in understanding the use of social media humor in the Global South.

Abstract

When monkeypox emerged, Siga Technologies' TPOXX (Tecovirimat), a smallpox drug, became a crucial treatment, while Bavarian Nordic's Jynneos Vaccine is being rolled out to prevent it from spreading. Over the past three years, medical attention has been focused on developing tools to combat COVID-19 and, more recently, monkeypox. Advances in cancer treatment include Molli Breast Cancer Localization System, a tiny 3.2-mm magnetic marking device that is inserted under the skin to pinpoint the exact tissue for removal, and the Galleri Cancer Test, which screens for more than 50 types of cancers.
