Literary and Visual Representations of HIV/AIDS: Forty Years Later
depicts how film and literature about the HIV/AIDS crisis expand
upon the issues generated by the epidemic. This collection fills an
important gap in the scholarship on HIV/AIDS, by bringing together
essays by both established and junior scholars on visual and
literary representations of HIV/AIDS. Almost forty years after the
first reported cases of what would later be defined as AIDS, this
book looks back across the decades at works of literature and film
to discuss how the representation of HIV/AIDS has shifted in media.
This book argues that literature constitutes a very powerful
response to AIDS that ripples into film and politics, driving the
changes in past and contemporary representations of HIV/AIDS. The
book also expands discussion of the issues generated and amplified
by the epidemic to consider how HIV/AIDS has been portrayed in the
United States, Western and Southern Africa, Western Europe, and
East Asia.
