| description | This introductory essay provides a thematic framework for, and critical review of,
the key issues and debates in HIV governance as well as its representation in the
public sphere in the Chinese context. It discusses the current state and
characteristics of the epidemic. In particular, it analyses the evolution of
HIV/AIDS governance and its representation through two broad approaches:
"AIDS work" and "AIDS talk." AIDS work is done by a multitude of agents at
three different levels: the state at the macro-level; U.N. agencies, INGOs and
foreign governments at the meso-level; and civil society at the micro-level. AIDS
talk includes "telling AIDS" in Chinese HIV/AIDS media, "recording AIDS" by
independent documentary filmmakers, "fighting AIDS" by HIV carriers, and
"righting AIDS" by HIV/AIDS activists who are not HIV carriers. From public
health campaigns and media education programs in the official media, to
individual initiatives asserting rights and community endeavours for self-help—all
agents utilise both old and new media and communication technologies to voice
their concerns as well as to get their voices heard. This in turn impacts on China's
AIDS work. "AIDS work" and "AIDS talk" illustrate the two interrelated areas of
governance and representation in the Chinese HIV/AIDS regime. The present
issue brings together original articles from diverse disciplinary areas to engage
in a timely dialogue on how HIV/AIDS is represented and governed in China and
how such representations and techniques of governance are constructive of the
relations of power and agency in the context of HIV/AIDS. |
