Grounding ‘Responsibilisation Talk’: Masculinities, Citizenship and HIV in Cape Town, South Africa
研究南非政府如何理解艾滋病与贫困的关系，以及个人和社区组织如何回应国家干预，特别关注男性气质如何影响男性艾滋病患者体验和改变这些干预措施。
Abstract This paper investigates how the South African state has understood the relationship between HIV and poverty and how individuals and community-based organisations have responded to these state interventions. It considers the ways in which liberal forms of government frame people living with AIDS as a particular category of ‘deserving’ and ‘entrepreneurial’ citizens, and then re-frames them through a package of health and welfare interventions. Based on ethnographic research with the members of Khululeka, a support group for HIV-positive men, the study pays particular attention to how masculinity has shaped the ways these men have experienced and transformed these state interventions.
