Tell the story of a virus
This article is part of the special Cultural Commons edition on It’s a Sin. It argues that if It’s a Sin is the queer Friends of the UK AIDS era, it loses its nerve: while it gets right the ways that queer kinship reinvented the conventional family during the AIDS crisis, it still makes the domestic sphere its ultimate thematic focus - and mothers the villains
A Thousand Kindred Spirits
This article is one woman's reflection on her experiences as a member of ACT UP/New York in the late 1980s and early 1990s through the lens of subsequent engagement in scholarship on AIDS representation in literature and visual media. Excerpted from a keynote address at a conference on the thirtieth anniversary of ACT UP at the University of York in June 2017, this essay reflects on the legacy of AIDS activism, ACT UP meetings, women and AIDS, ne…
Theory and the Everyday
The Argonauts combines high theory and the everyday. It does this by combining lofty thought, the quotidian, close attention to words and ideas and stray thoughts, and desire. It does this through form, the way it blends and refuses genre, the way it skips from one thought or story to another, and making them connect by virtue of contiguity. The Argonauts refuses form in a way that parallels how Maggie's and Harry's bodies and identities refuse g…

Aids Literature and Gay Identity
This book discusses the significance of late twentieth century and early twenty first century American fiction written in response to the AIDS crisis and interrogates how sexual identity is depicted and constructed textually. Pearl develops Freudian psychoanalytic theory in a complex account of the ways in which grief is expressed and worked out in literature, showing how key texts from the AIDS crisis by authors such as Edmund White, Michael Cun…
Reframing Bodies
This is an important, informative, persuasive and timely book. Roger Hallas has surveyed and analyzed the archive of the queer moving image since the beginning of the AIDS crisis to understand what that body of texts conveys to us now. Reframing Bodies treads some familiar recent theoretical ground – addressing trauma, witnessing, memorialization – but doing so in relation to a queer archive made in response to AIDS gives us a new way, and a new …
