ABSTRACT Cholera first struck Havana in February 1833. This was the second cholera pandemic in history and the first to spread beyond Asia. The disease ravaged Europe and crossed the Atlantic and arrived in the city with a merchant returning from the United States. Two months later, 8,000 inhabitants of the city were dead. This article considers how the devastating number of cholera dead transformed mourning and burial in Havana. Management of the dead was a matter of urgent public concern in Havana. This was not simply about where the dead should be buried, but how they should be handled, laid out, transported, and even prayed over. By considering how bodies were talked about, interacted with, and regulated before, during, and after the cholera outbreak of 1833, this article illustrates how pandemic cholera was a catalyst that accelerated and normalised the primacy of health measures over spiritual precepts in determining how to handle the dead.

ABSTRACT Covid-19 is the first pandemic to be broadcast and photographed as it happens worldwide. However, despite the plethora of images on countless aspects of the pandemic, few media images have covered its more sensitive issues, such as the collapse of the healthcare system, the process of dying alone, or the disruption to funeral rites and mourning. Consequently, the visual narratives of the pandemic are biased. They lack images that show its more dramatic aspects. This affects not only how the public perceives and reacts to Covid-19, but also the visual evidence that will remain for historical memory in the future. With one of the world’s highest case rates and most stringent states of emergency, Spain offers an interesting case study to analyse the pandemic’s photographic narratives and its missing images during lockdown. This paper focuses on the presence or absence of images dealing with illness, death, dying and grief, as well as their ways of representation. It delves into the framing of particular visual narratives through an analysis of the images that appeared in Spain’s leading newspapers, together with semi-structured interviews conducted with renowned photojournalists who worked on the front line to document Covid-19 during lockdown.

ABSTRACT Intensive Care Units (ICUs) became key end-of-life spaces during the Covid-19 pandemic in the UK. Many nurses were redeployed to ICU from other specialities, navigating changing roles, priorities, and risks. Limited resources including time, equipment, and staffing widened nurses’ responsibilities; the virus’ infectious nature restricted family visits, even at end of life. Emerging literature explores ICU deaths during Covid-19, but little focuses on nurses’ experiences, especially those redeployed. Here, we explore how redeployed nurses negotiated these competing demands on their emotional and physical resources, and undertook meaning-making, by integrating a framework of ‘sensemaking’ with theories of coping. Drawing on interviews with six nurses from two UK-based longitudinal qualitative studies we detail profound shifts that uniquely challenged nurses’ sense of identity, duty, and purpose. This included adopting untested caring protocols, de-prioritising ‘non-essential’ care, and establishing communication rituals with patients/families. Understanding how nurses negotiated and performed their roles when paradigms of care were dramatically destabilised is vital to supporting workforce recovery from burnout, moral injury, and moral distress. This research also provides important learning for the management of future emergency responses and extends knowledge of how lived experience maps onto theoretical knowledge.
