Efforts to construct the historiography of HIV/AIDS simultaneously mutate our own perceptions. This panel seeks papers that discuss how archiving the HIV epidemic shapes our relationships to the disease. Please send 300-word abstracts by 13 March 2015; Kenneth Pinion (ktpinion@ncsu.edu).
Paper topics might include: the collection, preservation, and discovery of HIV-related materials; how those collections shape our understanding of HIV/AIDS; literary or filmic representations of HIV/AIDS as they pertain to theories of the “archive”; HIV/AIDS and queer embodiment; screen memory and the HIV epidemic; and so forth.
