Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dès lors que l'on se penche sur la situation des femmes africaines dans des sociétés touchées par le sida, un certain nombre de stéréotypes apparaissent (" vulnérabilité ", " prostitution "...), qui simplifient une réalité complexe et introduisent des éléments de stigmatisation des femmes. A partir d'une discussion de ces notions, cet ouvrage se propose de montrer comment le sida, en Afrique, tout à la fois révèle la nature des situations vécues par les femmes (rapports à l'homme, au désir d'enfant, à la maladie...) et en accélère les évolutions. L'objectif est de rompre avec un discours univoque qui, soit présente les femmes dans une attitude passive face au sida et les montre comme des victimes incapables de réagir, soit, à l'inverse, tend à les présenter comme de puissants transformateurs du rapport à l'épidémie dans le sens de sa maîtrise : est ici défendue la nécessité d'un regard plus nuancé sur les avancées et les conservatismes révélés par le sida. Jusqu'alors rarement associées, perspective historique et démarche anthropologique mettent en lumière une maladie qui se présente pour les femmes comme un double révélateur : de capacités de négociation et de permanence de registres de forte tutelle masculine. L'enjeu fondamental pour l'avenir est donc de faire en sorte que le temps des femmes dans la " lutte contre le sida " - aujourd'hui arrivé, de l'avis de tous -, soit celui de la négociation des risques, dans les domaines de la sexualité, de la maternité, du travail ou de la recherche de soins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La collection " Médecine du Monde "s'ouvre avec ce livre à des écrits plus subjectifs que ne le sont les études anthropologiques qui forment l'essentiel de ce qu'elle publie. Témoignages, journaux de chercheur, échos de la vie multiple qui entoure l'enquête disent en effet à la fois son sens et ses difficultés, et communiquent au lecteur l'indispensable contexte de toute recherche. Le livre de Judith Hassoun fait revivre une rencontre. Rencontre de femmes : l'auteur et des femmes malades, l'une et les autres présentes, à travers leur voix fidèlement transcrites, à travers un ton délibérément ajusté pour dire d'abord les mille événements du quotidien. Femmes malades, certes, mais on n'est jamais malade " à plein temps ". Il y a le sida, mais il y a aussi l'amitié, le désir d'enfant, les relations avec les hommes : la vie avec la maladie est d'abord la vie. Cet ouvrage fait mieux que le dire : il le fait sentir au point qu'à travers lui on participe à ces rencontres, à ces dialogues. Il fait mieux que transmettre une connaissance : il associe le lecteur à une expérience dont celui-ci sort avec un regard neuf sur ces femmes, leur vie et le malheur qui les frappe.

Download or read book Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa written by Fred Eboko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa examines how the interplay between national state dynamics in Africa and the global political arena has shaped the global AIDS response, and in this context develops a framework for analysing public policy action more broadly in contemporary Africa. By applying comparative political sociology to AIDS public action, this book identifies four political models that are applicable to public initiatives. Fred Eboko goes on to test these in other domains – namely, the malaria and tuberculosis health subsectors, and the education and environment sectors. By articulating global and national connections and contributing a critical perspective grounded in African scholarship and French political science, the author builds a bold and ambitious framework with the potential to enable coherent and effective public policy action in Africa. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of public health, global health, political science, and development studies, as well as policy-level practitioners in the areas of global health and development.

Download or read book Sexual Behaviour and HIV AIDS in Europe written by Michel Hubert and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1998 Sexual Behaviour and HIV/AIDS in Europe is detailed study comparing the major population surveys on sexual behaviour and HIV/AIDS carried out in Europe at the time of publication. Leading European researchers explore the differences and similarities between European countries in patterns of sexual behaviour and responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As well as providing an empirical and methodological base for future research, the comparative analyses lead researchers, policy makers, health-educators and the media to new insights and a deeper understanding of issues that are of central concern in many countries. The chapters include discussion of data on sexual initiation, homosexual and bisexual behaviour, sexual practices, sexual partners, risk behaviour, STDs, preventive practices, the normative context, knowledge of HIV/AIDS, and attitudes towards people with HIV/AIDS. The book results from a major European Concerted Action, funded by the European Union Biomedical and Health Research programme (BIOMED), and coordinated by the Centre d'Etudes Sociologiques of the Facultes Universitaires Saint-Louis, Brussels, Belgium. It follows Sexual Interactions and HIV Risk, published in 1997.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains terms often found in international human rights instruments together with clear, authentic, objective and easily understandable definitions of them. Human rights are so fundamental and so important for everyone that all human rights documents should be understood by anyone, old or young, educated or uneducated, expert or non-expert. Yet many human rights conventions, declarations, instruments and volumes and papers are extremely hard to comprehend or are easily misunderstood because certain expressions and terms are not clearly defined, or are written in such a way that only those familiar with UN jargon can understand. This publication is a useful tool for those who face such difficulty in understanding UN human rights documents and other texts. The volume is easy to use, yet rich in detail, and will be an indispensable tool for practitioners, researchers and students of human rights law.

This book was released on 2018-09-26 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, why and how can religion and culture be both sources, and places of expression for fundamentalisms, particularly in relation to politics? Those are the central questions asked throughout this book alongside a discussion on the result when religion, strenthened by culture, is used as a political tool to access moral and social power. Cultural and religious messages often form the basis of decisions, laws and programs made in politics, and have a direct effect on society in general, and on women and gender relations in particular. The various forms taken by fundamentalisms in some African countries and the contexts under which they have emerged, the ways in which they (re)shape identities and relationships between men and women are also analysed in this book. These fundamentalisms are frequently sources of concern in social debates, in feminist and feminine organizations as well as in academia and politics. The manipulation of cultures and religions are becoming progressively political, and consequently can cause social discrimination, or even physical, moral, and symbolic violence.

Download or read book Gender AIDS and food security written by Mariame Maiga and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the effects of AIDS on women and food security in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. AIDS is more than a health problem. Rural households and women in particular have to cope with the lack of labour in agriculture which threatens their food security. For the matrilineal Agni women land ownership appears to be an unexpected burden, rather than a safeguard from poverty. Culture matters, but not in similar ways everywhere. Matrilineal or patrilineal kinship organisation, gender inequality, and norms about sexual relationships very much influence the differences in Agni and migrant women's vulnerability to AIDS. African women are often seen as victims of AIDS. This study shows that women may also use their creativity and social networks to battle and to be resilient against the effects of the illness in their everyday household activities. Using a combination of quantitative statistical data and qualitative methods, this research questions the effectiveness of mainstream AIDS policy and interventions in Côte d'Ivoire. Victimising the poor does not help. Instead, multi-sector policy intervention can mitigate the social effects of AIDS by improving household food security and by changing cultural practices through local leaders who have historical legitimacy and power.
Download or read book The Making of Heterosexualities written by Vulca Fidolini and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on an ethnographic study on young Moroccan immigrants in Europe (France and Italy), this book analyses the hegemonic power of heteronormativity and its plural expressions. It tries to give an answer to the following main questions: How the normative power of heterosexuality is socially constructed among men? How and why heterosexuality is interpreted as the socially “appropriate” norm to be recognised as a “true” man by other men? Attention is focused on those people who use heteronormativity in order to produce and reproduce heterosexual identifications through performing hegemonic masculinities. The objective is to deconstruct the “normality” of heterosexuality and the ways through which it is commonly used as a normative reference to talk about sexual life as well as to build masculinities, especially within homosocial relationships. An enlightening book consisting of a rich empirical material and theoretical analysis, this volume will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers who are interested in fields such as Sociology, Anthropology and Gender Studies.
