| Publisher Description: Trois d cennies apr s l' mergence du VIH, l' re du post-sida , deux g n rations de chercheurs dressent le bilan des repr sentations qu'en a donn es la litt rature fran aise. Depuis les premiers pseudo-t moignages jusqu' l'historicisation du sida, l'int riorisation du deuil et l'insurrection contre la s rophobie, autour de l'oeuvre de Guibert et d'autres crivains (Hocquenghem, Lagarce, Dustan), se dispose toute une constellation de r cits alliant autobiographie et fiction. La pluralit d'approches ( tudes litt raires, de genre et culturelles) interroge l'actualit d'un ph nom ne et de ses multiples implications, aussi bien intimes que politiques, esth tiques que morales. Le VIH/sida s'av re un op rateur herm neutique pour explorer le corps et la maladie, le d sir et la mort, pour rompre le silence et repenser l'identit . In the 'post-AIDS era', three decades after the emergence of HIV, two generations of researchers take stock of its representations in French literature. A whole constellation of narratives combining autobiography and fiction has formed around the works of Guibert and other authors (Hocquenhem, Lagarce, Dustan), from the initial pseudo-testimonials to texts historicising AIDS, internalising grief, or protesting against AIDS/HIV discrimination. Calling on a variety of approaches (literary studies, gender studies, and cultural studies), this volume questions the current relevance of this phenomenon and its multiple personal, political, aesthetic, and ethical implications. HIV/AIDS proves of hermeneutic value in exploring issues relating to the body and illness, to desire and death, and to breaking silence and rethinking identity. |
