Interdict and transgression, death and memory. Discussing eroticism in times of hiv and aids in Brazil
Keywords:
hiv/aids, , erotismo, imagem poética, dissidências sexuais e de gênero.Abstract
In this essay, I discuss the connection between interdict and transgression of eroticism in the experience of the hiv and aids epidemics in Brazil. In order to do this, I retake narratives and poetic images that tell about the position of some sexual and gender dissidents in the face of the denial of their concrete lives - suffering, resisting and transgressing the physical, social and memory interdict, imposed by a hegemonic práxis surrounding epidemics. From this starting point, I intend to comprehend how the interdiction-transgression diptych is constituted as a contradictory unit within historical and social complexity. I resort to montage, a technique through which I bring together texts, images and narratives, proposing not only to revive the memory of the experience of hiv and aids, but to (re)make the experience itself, through a (re)writing of its history.
