This research paper: A 3 page essay that discusses the principal thesis in Morris's What is Postmodern Illness? In this text, Morris addresses the topic of disease from the standpoint of how specific illnesses have interacted with culture, embedding themselves into the fabric of a society. As Morris points out, it is a "curious fact that almost every era seems marked by a distinctive illness that defines or deeply influences it" (Morris 50). In the sections leading up to his discussion of what constitutes a defining illness for the postmodern era, Morris explores how "Plague, melancholy, gout, syphilis, tuberculosis and cancer" influenced special eras in history (Morris 56). The writer discusses Morris's take on the bubonic plague, tuberculosis and AIDS. No additional sources cited.
