  • Author : Julie Ault
  • Publisher : NYU Press
  • Release : 1999-09
  • ISBN : 9780814793510
  • Pages : 320 pages

Download or read book Art Matters written by Julie Ault and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1999-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of intensive discussions about the role of visual arts in public life The past decade has seen American culture deeply divided by debates over social identity, public morality, communal values and freedom of expression. A key focus of these polarizing discussions has been the role of visual arts in public life. In Art Matters, five leading cultural critics and two prominent contemporary artists show the ways that this debate has profoundly reshaped our view of American culture. Lucy Lippard investigates the extraordinary recent transformations in visual art; Michele Wallace takes on high art, popular culture, and African American identity; David Deitcher discusses queer culture and AIDS; Carole S. Vance ponders censorship and sexually explicit imagery; and Lewis Hyde considers democracy and culture. Projects by artists Julie Ault and Andrea Fraser provide a context for these debates. Art Matters also offers a close examination of attempts to develop alternative funding sources for artists, focusing specifically on the influential private foundation Art Matters-a foundation which became an important proponent for new forms of art and for protecting freedom of expression through its funding and advocacy efforts.

Book Melancholia and Moralism

Download or read book Melancholia and Moralism written by Douglas Crimp and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays challenging the increasing denial of the AIDS crisis and the rise of conservative gay politics. In Melancholia and Moralism, Douglas Crimp confronts the conservative gay politics that replaced the radical AIDS activism of the late 1980s and early 1990s. He shows that the cumulative losses from AIDS, including the waning of militant response, have resulted in melancholia as Freud defined it: gay men's dangerous identification with the moralistic repudiation of homosexuality by the wider society. With the 1993 march on Washington for lesbian and gay rights, it became clear that AIDS no longer determined the agenda of gay politics; it had been displaced by traditional rights issues such as gay marriage and the right to serve in the military. Journalist Andrew Sullivan, notorious for pronouncing the AIDS epidemic over, even claimed that once those few rights had been won, the gay rights movement would no longer have a reason to exist. Crimp challenges such complacency, arguing that not only is the AIDS epidemic far from over, but that its determining role in queer politics has never been greater. AIDS, he demonstrates, is the repressed, unconscious force that drives the destructive moralism of the new, anti-liberation gay politics expounded by such mainstream gay writers as Larry Kramer, Gabriel Rotello, and Michelangelo Signorile, as well as Sullivan. Crimp examines various cultural phenomena, including Randy Shilts's bestseller And the Band Played On, the Hollywood films "Silence of the Lambs" and "Philadelphia," and Magic Johnson's HIV infection and retirement from the Los Angeles Lakers. He also analyzes Robert Mapplethorpe's and Nicholas Nixon's photography, John Greyson's AIDS musical "Zero Patience," Gregg Bordowitz's video "Fast Trip, Long Drop," the Names Project Quilt, and the annual "Day without Art."

Book AIDS Narratives

Download or read book AIDS Narratives written by Steven F. Kruger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of the rich fiction that has emerged from the AIDS crisis. Examining first the ways in which scientific discourse on AIDS has reflected ideologies of gender and sexuality-such as the construction of AIDS as a disease of gay men, part of a battle over masculinity, and thus largely excluding women with AIDS from public attention-the book considers how such discourses have shaped narrative understandings of AIDS. On the one hand, AIDS is seen as an invariably fatal weakening of an individual's bodily defenses, a depiction often used to reconfirm an identification between disease and a weak and vulnerable gayness. On the other hand, AIDS is understood in terms of an epidemic attributable to gay immorality or unnaturalness. The fiction of AIDS depends upon these two narratives, with one major subgenre of AIDS novel presenting narratives of personal illness, decline, and death, and a second focusing on epidemic spread. These novels also question the narrative structures upon which they depend, intervening particularly against the homophobia of those structures, though also sometimes reinforcing it.

Book Women  Families and HIV AIDS

    Book Details:
  • Author : Carole A. Campbell
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 1999-04-13
  • ISBN : 9780521566797
  • Pages : 270 pages

Download or read book Women Families and HIV AIDS written by Carole A. Campbell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carole Campbell examines the position of women in the AIDS epidemic (women living with HIV, and women caring for HIV-infected family members) in a sociocultural context. Campbell draws a connection among women's risk of AIDS, gender roles (particularly adolescent gender role socialization), and male sexual behavior, demonstrating that efforts to contain the spread of the disease to females must also target the male behavior that puts women at risk. This study concludes that compared with men, HIV-infected women face unequal access to care and unequal quality of care. Informed by the moving personal accounts of eleven HIV-infected men and women, this book offers a rare, broad picture of the sociocultural causes and the impact on American society of AIDS among women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) adapted IOM's existing migrant-friendly tool called For Life, With Love---a video and life skills package on HIV prevention and safe mobility for migrant and mobile populations in the Greater Mekong Subregion---to fit the road construction setting. This customized training tool was developed and pilot-tested at an ADB-financed road project in Bolikhamxay, Lao People's Democratic Republic. A baseline assessment was conducted to determine patterns of mobility, work conditions and lifestyles among road construction workers, managers and supervisors, truck drivers, sex workers, health-care workers, affected local communities, and other vulnerable populations in the road project area. Based on the results, a training manual was developed in tandem with the animated drama series. The training manual and animated video series make up the customized training tool which is intended for delivering HIV prevention and safe migration activities to workers in various phases of road construction, and to affected local communities and surrounding entertainment venues.
