Theorizing HIV in the French context
The HIV/AIDS epidemic prompted an explosion of theoretical production in the anglophone world from the late 1980s onwards. This work demonstrated the biopolitical dimensions and cultural signification of HIV/AIDS. As is so often the case, however, anglophone dominance has obscured the fact of cultural and geographic specificity, leading to a universalizing and frequently US-centric view of what the WHO terms a ‘global epidemic’. This article offe…
"The "White Darkness
Rather than considering the modernist aesthetic of primitivism as singular, this article contends that there are multiple and diverse primitivist projects. Each of these speaks to its historical context, and this article considers that of the Ukrainian-born, American avant-garde film-maker Maya Deren's primitivist investments in Haiti through her published writing, diary entries and her film footage produced between 1948 and 1953. Deren's work mu…

Preciado's Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics (2008) calls on feminist theorists, artists and activists of the second wave to explore transgender experience and embodiment, and to rethink gender in light of the new era of biocapitalism Preciado prop…
Your HIV-positive sperm, my trans-dyke uterus
Contemporary queer theorist Beatriz Preciado’s hypothetical bareback encounter with her friend and former editor, the HIV-positive writer Guillaume Dustan, explores her own understanding of the origins of queer politics in the AIDS crisis. Dustan’s ‘insurrectional’ writing, particularly his views on bareback sex, made him party to a bitter feud with anti-AIDS group Act Up-Paris. I consider what is at stake in Preciado’s eventual refusal of such a…
