Abstract

An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM.The earliest traceable accounts of the AIDS outbreak in Spain began to emerge during its political transition to democracy, with small clusters of cases appearing as early as 1981. HIV/AIDS would go on to shape Spain throughout its pivotal period as a fledgling democracy, underpinning the cultural explosions of the Movida, a sharp rise in intravenous drug use, and the struggles of a coalescing LGBT+ community. Feeling Sick: The Early Years of HIV/AIDS in Spain examines the cultural history of these early years of HIV/AIDS in Spain as it has been told through television and print media, ephemeral products of visual culture, fiction film, and the so-called risk groups that lived through the epidemic. The book draws on the work of Raymond Williams to characterize this emergent period within a structure of "feeling sick" and thus defined by discordant voices, disagreement, and meaning-making in a period of history in formation. Through close readings of Spanish visual culture and media alongside analysis of historical and medical documents, it asserts that a structure of feeling sick begins to coalesce around the emergence of HIV/AIDS and traces out a distinctive sense of living through history as it unfolds. By critically evaluating a selection of cultural materials, this book claims that the earliest years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Spain reveal common fears about global connectivity, the proliferation of vulnerable ties to others, and the potential of cultural and physical contaminations. Ultimately, Feeling Sick challenges the dominant narratives in which life and disease are seen as separate and unequal, and in which illness is only destructive and devastating.

Abstract

From a stage erected in front of the US Capitol, on April 25, 1993, Michael Callen surveyed the throng: an estimated one million people stretched across the National Mall in the largest public demonstration of queer political solidarity in history. "What a sight," he told the crowd, his earnest Midwestern twang reverberating through loudspeakers. "You're a sight for sore eyes. Being gay is the greatest gift I have ever been given, and I don't care who knows about it." He then launched into a gorgeous rendition of "Love Don't Need a Reason," the AIDS anthem he composed with Marsha Malamet and the late Peter Allen. As Callen finished singing, people stood cheering and flashing the familiar American Sign Language symbol for "I Love You." For they knew the song's sentiment rang true for Callen, who had recently announced his retirement from music and activism after a living for more than a decade with what was then called "full-blown AIDS." After the March on Washington, Callen returned to his recently adopted West Coast home, Los Angeles. In the ensuing months, his health rapidly declined, and on 27 December 1993, Callen died of AIDS-related pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma. Love Don't Need a Reason focuses on Callen's most important and lasting legacy: his music. A witness to the overlooked last years of Gay Liberation and a major figure in the early years of the AIDS crisis, Michael Callen chronicled these experiences in song. A community organizer, activist, author, and architect of the AIDS self-empowerment movement, he literally changed the way we have sex in an epidemic when he co-authored one of the first safe-sex guides in 1983. A gifted singer, songwriter, and performer, he also made gay music for gay people and used music to educate and empower people with AIDS. Listening again to his music allows us to hear the shifting dynamics of American families, changing notions of masculinity, gay migration to urban areas, the sexual politics of Gay Liberation, and HIV/AIDS activism. Using extensive archival materials and newly-conducted oral history interviews with Callen's friends, family, and fellow musicians, Matthew J. Jones reintroduces Callen to the history of LGBTQIA+ music and places Callen's music at the center of his important activist work.

Abstract

Zeitgenössische IT-Sicherheit operiert in einer Überbietungslogik zwischen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen und Angriffsszenarien. Diese paranoid strukturierte Form negativer Sicherheit lässt sich vom Ursprung der IT-Sicherheit in der modernen Kryptografie über Computerviren und -würmer, Ransomware und Backdoors bis hin zum AIDS-Diskurs der 1980er Jahre nachzeichnen. Doch Sicherheit in und mit digital vernetzten Medien lässt sich auch anders denken: Marie-Luise Shnayien schlägt die Verwendung eines reparativen, queeren Sicherheitsbegriffs vor, dessen Praktiken zwar nicht auf der Ebene des Technischen angesiedelt sind, aber dennoch nicht ohne ein genaues Wissen desselben auskommen.

Abstract

Der Zusammenhang von Armut und Krankheit, bzw. mangelnder Gesundheit, ist immer schon klar ersichtlich gewesen. In einer Vorlesungsreihe stellten Vertreter verschiedener Disziplinen, die sich im Göttingen International Health Network (GIHN) zusammengeschlossen haben, ausgewählte Aspekte vor, die darstellen, wie Armut und Gesundheit miteinander verknüpft sind. Die Fragen, Probleme, Erklärungs- und Interventionsmodelle beziehen sich besonders auf Afrika und Indien und Anrainerstaaten. Mit der Vorlesungsreihe stellten sich die Vertreter der verschiedenen Fächer bewusst einer allgemeineren Öffentlichkeit und bemühten sich, auch komplexe Themen verständlich und doch auf neuestem Stand der Forschung darzustellen. The connection between poverty and illness or lack of health has always been clear. In a series of lectures, representatives of various disciplines who have joined forces in the Göttingen International Health Network (GIHN) presented selected aspects that illustrate how poverty and health are linked together. The questions, problems, explanatory and intervention models particularly refer to Africa and India and riparian states. With the lecture series, the representatives of the various subjects deliberately set themselves apart from a more general public and endeavored to present even complex topics in a comprehensible and yet state-of-the-art way.
