Description
AIDS and the Body Politic: Biomedicine and Sexual Difference explores the complex relationships between medicine, politics, and sexuality in the context of HIV/AIDS. This book examines how biomedical approaches to AIDS have shaped our understanding of the body and its relationship to disease, as well as the social and cultural contexts in which these understandings are constructed. Through a critical analysis of medical literature, policy documents, and other sources, Catherine Waldby and Cathy Waldby shed light on the ways in which biomedicine has influenced the politics of AIDS, and how these politics have, in turn, shaped our understanding of the body and its differences.
