This book examines the discourse of a "post-AIDS" culture, and the
medical-discursive shift from crisis and death to survival and living.
Contributions from a diverse group of international scholars
interrogate and engage with the cultural, social, political,
scientific, historical, global, and local consumptions of the term
"post-AIDS" from the perspective of meaning-making on health, illness,
and well-being. The chapters critique and connect meanings of
"post-AIDS" to topics such as neoliberalism; race, gender, and
advocacy; disclosure; relationships and intimacy; stigma and
structural violence; family and community; migration; work; survival;
normativity; NGOs, transnational organizations; aging and end-of-life
care; the politics of ART and PrEP; mental illness; campaigns; social
media; and religion. Using a range of methodological tools, the
scholarship herein asks how "post-AIDS" or the "End of the Epidemic"
is communicated and made sense of in everyday discourse, what current
meanings are circulated and consumed on and around HIV and AIDS, and
provides thorough commentary and critique of a "post-AIDS" time. This
book will be an essential read for scholars and students of health
communication, sociology of health and illness, medical humanities,
political science, and medical anthropology, as well as for policy
makers and activists.
