Dick Isherwood learnt his craft in the 1960s in the competitive
melee of the Cambridge University Mountaineering Club. His
enthusiasm meant he took every opportunity to gain more experience
on steep rock - dry, grotty or wet - but by 1964 he was already
looking to wider horizons and joined Henry Day's "Cambridge Chitral
Expedition". By 1969 he had become one of the top rock climbers in
the UK, repeating many of the hardest routes and putting up a few
new ones in North Wales, the Lakes and Scotland. A job move to the
Far East then enabled him to concentrate on his passion for small
alpine-type expeditions, much in the style of Shipton and Tilman.
One example was his audacious two-man attempt on Annapurna II
(7937m). But not all trips were to the Himalaya - he climbed the
Carstensz Pyramide (4884m) in New Guinea - one of the "Seven
Summits" - by a new route and rounded off the trip with an epic
solo ascent of Sunday Peak. He finally "settled down" in 1999 in
Port Townsend, Washington and whilst still mountaineering, became
an accomplished sailor, frequently taking himself off on long solo
trips in his sea kayak or sailing boat around the north Pacific
coast. A blogger recently wrote "Everyone had a Dick Isherwood
story". This anthology tells many as described in his writings and
those of his friends. They illustrate some of his extraordinary
adventures over more than 50 years.
This edited collection brings together scholarship from established
and emerging scholars in HIV/AIDS studies, French studies, Visual
Arts, and Dance. As French writers and artists from the past five
to ten years have been revisiting the AIDS crisis and its attendant
cultural amnesia, their work has brought about the necessity of
foregrounding vulnerability, exposure, risk, citizenship, and
trauma when considering disease. By way of probing "rawness" and
its varying iterations, this volume gathers analyses of HIV/AIDS
productions from the 1980s to today in the service of excavating
lessons learned by those living in proximity to disease. These
lessons provide important tools to understand and discuss both the
ongoing HIV and SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. The volume thus highlights
the specificities of the former while offering solutions on how to
discuss and mitigate the latter.
