The Olympic flame arrived in Japan from Greece on Friday in a scaled-down ceremony at an airbase in northern Japan. In Playne’s view, the promulgation of hatred of Germany through emotive language and symbols and the cultivation of stoical attitudes were key factors in this process, both reinforcing civilian resilience in the face of the German threat and helping to stifle domestic dissent. Bannons War Room. Bono, James J., ‘Why metaphor? Playne, Caroline E., The Neuroses of The Nations (London: Allen and Unwin, 1925); Caroline E. Playne, Society at War, 1914–1916. I use self-regulation in the Foucauldian sense to refer to the way that biopolitical discourses encourage individuals to act as ‘doctors to oneself’, thereby rendering them subjects of neoliberal forms of governance. However, by the end of June, with ‘sporadic’ outbreaks being reported throughout the capital, the Daily Mail changed tack, advising readers who suspected they had influenza to ‘go to bed immediately and not attempt to “carry on”, which only means carrying infection to others’.Footnote 74 The following day, with the news that ‘300 girls’ at a leather factory in Bermondsey were ill, Newsholme gave the paper the first in a series of on-the-record briefings, informing its medical correspondent that, while the current epidemic is not ‘so severe as the great epidemic of 1889–92’, outbreaks were being reported from various parts of Britain, as well as from France, Germany and Spain. Crosby, Arthur W., America’s Forgotten Pandemic: The Influenza of 1918 (Cambridge, New York: Cambridge University Press, 1989). The plan is expected to look much like restrictions already announced on all-but-essential travel and trade between the US and Canada. At the same time, I wish to examine the role of government, voluntarist organisations, and the mass media in the production not only of stoicism during WWI but the regulation of emotions such as dread and hatred. Although historians cannot directly access past emotional experiences and therefore can never ‘know’ what the emotion of dread felt like in 1918, by adopting an emotionological approach we can at least analyse the discourses governing the deployment of dread and other emotion words and phrases and seek to understand how metaphors and emotional utterances may have served to repress or intensify certain emotional states. The Manchester Guardian’s London correspondent noted a similar pathology at work, observing that people were ‘fighting shy of theatres and kinemas [sic] and all kinds of meetings’: People generally are scared and the crowds besieging the doctors’ surgeries and chemists’ shops included a good many who think they may be going to have influenza.Footnote 111, Yet at the same time as Londoners seemed to be panicked by influenza, the correspondent reported that news of the Austro-Hungarian peace offer had been met by Londoners with characteristic ‘phlegm’. Martin, H. Gutman, and P.H. Ukraine, which reported 26 coronavirus cases and three deaths, had previously declared a state of emergency in two other regions with coronavirus patients.

As Bono puts it: ‘The work of metaphor is not so much to represent features of the world, as to invite us to act upon the world as if it were configured in a specific way like that of some already known entity or process’ (italics in original).Footnote 19 In other words, metaphors are not just representational, but performative. North Korea says it released thousands of people from quarantine, including all but three foreigners, while maintaining a tough campaign to stem the spread of the coronavirus in the country, according to the Associated Press. The numbers include 546 new deaths in Italy’s epicentre Lombardy region, as cities across the world are locked down. Michel Foucault, ‘Technologies of the self’, in L.H. In this way they raised the very fears that wartime propaganda was meant to obviate. Meanwhile, for most people living in crowded refugee camps on the Greek islands, following the measures recommended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection is just not possible. Bannons War Room. The curfew will be in effect from Friday 6pm until 6am on Monday. cit. Drawing on the letters of Wilfred Owen, the diaries of the cultural historian Caroline Playne and the reporting in the Northcliffe press, I argue that the stoicism exhibited by Owen and amplified in the columns of The Times and the Daily Mail is best viewed as a performance, an emotional style that reflected the politicisation of ‘dread’ in war as an emotion with the potential to undermine civilian morale. As Shephard and others have argued, when Owen arrived at Craiglockhart there was little to indicate that he had the makings of poetic greatness. Judging by the recollections of the Secretary of State for War Sir Maurice Hankey, Lloyd George’s illness was very serious indeed and, according to his valet, at one point it had been ‘touch and go’.Footnote 81 However, with the help of the attending physician, Sir William Milligan, and friendly newspaper barons such as C.P. Glasgow Herald, 23 July 1918, 6.Google Scholar, 77. Only essential businesses will be functioning, including pharmacies and grocery stores.

Gibson-Miller, Jilly The death toll in Turkey due to the coronavirus rose to nine, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said. Lloyd George had succumbed to the disease during a morale-boosting trip to Manchester on 12 September and spent ten days confined to a sick bed in the town hall, much of them hooked up to a ventilator to ease his laboured breathing. However, they also manifested in the editorial pages of The Times and the Daily Mail – papers that, during the early years of the war, had been crucial to the propaganda effort and the maintenance of civilian morale. Other news items included the report that 1,400 police and 1,000 telephone operators were on the sick list and that doctors and undertakers were ‘worked off their feet’.Footnote 102. 2021.

However, as Showalter has persuasively argued, the stoicism exhibited by Owen and other male war trauma cases was largely a performance, a way of reasserting manly unemotionalism in the face of the brutality and horrors of war.Footnote 66 Owen’s dismissal of the Spanish flu as a ‘joke’ can be seen as similarly performative, a way of shaping his emotional response to the flu in a way that valorised the ‘superior’ breeding of officers. Dube, Kaitano The 2002–2004 SARS outbreak was an epidemic involving severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-1). The kingdom recorded 36 new infections on Thursday, bringing its total to 274 with no deaths so far. Indeed, in Britain, it is estimated that sixty-four per cent of the estimated 228,000 deaths from the pandemic occurred in the last three months of 1918.Footnote 6 Yet for all the destruction wrought by the Spanish flu, stoicism seems to have been the characteristic response even during the later waves of the pandemic. Johnson, op. As an editorial writer in The Lancet observed at the height of the first wave of Russian flu, some sections of the public were guilty of a ‘morbid dread’ of the disease and were ‘so fully alive to the prospects of the spread of this ailment that they have almost passed into a state of panic’.

Thus during pandemic periods, when influenza presented as a ‘new’ disease with unfamiliar symptoms, it made sense to err on the side of caution, but once the pandemic form had been described and the health risks were understood, dread became pathologically suspect.Footnote 47, Retrospective accounts of the 1918–19 pandemic tend to treat the successive waves of Spanish flu as a single epistemic event. ‘So much publicity has necessarily had to be given to the present epidemic that everyone more or less talks “flu”. Pompeo wrote on social media that he and Ebrard “have been working closely on travel restrictions that balance protecting our citizens from further transmission of #COVID19. Though the official returns did not show any ‘sensible diminution’, neither did they show ‘any particularly marked increase’, the correspondent argued: It is important to realize this and to see things in perspective, as a stout heart is a great safeguard in these days. Lloyd, Alex Medical discourses that sought to employ dread as a self-regulating technology were similarly oppositional.Footnote 16 To the extent that doctors were keen to persuade patients to take the ‘dangers’ of influenza seriously and adjust their behaviour accordingly by, for instance, convalescing at home when sick, the risk of spreading infection and the dread of the respiratory complications of flu was a key instrument of biopower. In other words, the emotional utterance – Owen’s verbalisation of his determination not to succumb – is crucial to the production of his stoicism.
