This book analyses the impact of HIV and AIDS on performance in the
twenty-first century from an international perspective. It marks a
necessary reaffirmation of the productive power of performance to
respond to a public and political health crisis and act as a mode
of resistance to cultural amnesia, discrimination and
stigmatisation. It sets out a number of challenges and contexts for
HIV and AIDS performance in the twenty-first century, including:
the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry; the unequal
access to treatment and prevention technologies in the Global North
and Global South; the problematic division between dominant (white,
gay, urban, cis-male) and marginalised narratives of HIV; the
tension between a damaging cultural amnesia and a potentially
equally damaging partner 'AIDS nostalgia'; the criminalisation of
HIV non-disclosure; and, sustaining and sustained by all of these,
the ongoing stigmatisation of people living with HIV. This
collection presents work from a vast range of contexts, grouped
around four main areas: women's voices and experiences;
generations, memories and temporalities; inter/national narratives;
and artistic and personal reflections and interventions.
