While focused on the United States, Rosenberg's work on epidemics offers a nuanced framing that defines the stages and unfolding trajectories of epidemics. His writing is a good starting point to analyze the scope and challenges of epidemic historiography in South Asia. To redress its gaps, I have suggested an approach focused on writing histories of epidemics "sideways" and examined plague and influenza epidemics to situate the fluid politics of lived risks and marginality, moving away from dominant interpretations that have tried to characterize epidemics as finite and episodic.
虽然罗森伯格的工作重点是美国，但他对流行病的研究提供了一个细致的框架，定义了流行病的阶段和发展轨迹。他的著作是分析南亚流行病史学的范围和挑战的一个很好的起点。为了弥补其空白，我提出了一种侧重于“横向”撰写流行病史的方法，并考察了鼠疫和流感的流行，以确定生活风险和边缘化的流动性政治，从而摆脱了试图将流行病描述为有限和偶发的主流解释。
