Abstract

The conference was held at the Royal Society in London in 1994 and dealt with the relation between, on the one hand, the social and ethical consequences of recent headlong advances in molecular biology, and on the other, the national parliaments of Europe, which must either legislate to regulate them, or consiously refrain from doing so. It chose HIV and genetic screening for its particular field, and it also considered the role of the news media.

Abstract

Om mensen met aids te helpen hun pijn te bestrijden, worden ze bijgestaan door buddy's. Streng geselecteerde, goed opgeleide vrijwilligers die praktische, emoitonele en sociale ondersteuning geven aan mensen met aids. Die buddy's worden vaak letterlijk en figuurlijk vrienden voor het leven van mensen met aids. Ze hebben elk hun verhaal. Elf buddy's bundelden hun getuigenissen. Elf buddy's schreven over hun begeleiding en gaven het verhaal vrij dat ze met zich meedragen. Het zijn open en eerlijke getuigenissen geworden. Verhalen over verbondenheid en afstand, kracht en machteloosheid, vreugde en intens verdriet, hoop en wanhoop, gevechten met eigen grenzen, waarden en normen.

Abstract

Homophober Hass in Polen wird durch Plakate, Piktogramme, Graffiti und weitere Bildtypen nationalistischer, rechtsradikaler und katholisch-fundamentalistischer Bewegungen propagiert. Durch das Internet sowie Straßenproteste finden diese homophoben Bilder Verbreitung im digitalen und urbanen Raum. Damit haben sie fundamentalen Einfluss auf Polens visuelle Kultur. Julia Austermann erforscht diese polnischen Text- und Bildkonvolute vor und nach 1989, die Auskunft geben über Homophobie sowie deren Sichtbarmachung und Bekämpfung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Analyse der Produktion dieser Bilder, des Umgangs mit ihnen sowie die damit verbundenen Emotionalisierungstechniken. Aber auch die queeren Interventionen gegen Homophobie werden untersucht.

Abstract

Historically, AIDS is just one of a series of dreaded diseases that have aroused both great fear and irrational actions. The previous diseases, including bubonic plague, syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy and cancer, have evoked such a sense of dread that rational moves to halt the disease have become compromised. This text examines the deep sense of fear that AIDS evokes, stigmatizing those who suffer from the disease, as well as their families and caregivers. Until AIDS can be seen for what it actually is - a life-threatening disease - policies providing for humane treatment will not evolve. The book also emphasizes that diseases are more than biological phenomena or individual catastrophes - they are profoundly social events. The ways in which diseases are spread and treated are strongly influenced by larger sociological considerations, and they may have the capacity to change social institutions or society Itself. The first part of the book reviews the nature, history and responses of earlier dreaded diseases. The next section examines AIDS itself, proposed as the archetypal dreaded disease. Already creating a sense of panic, AIDS is also shown to be a social disease, likely to have significant effects on the social order. Thus, only by containing the epidemic of fear and controlling the resulting irrationality, can the AIDS epidemic be halted.

Abstract

This paper attempts to quantify the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on social capital with cross-country data. It estimates reduced-form regressions of the main determinants of social capital controlling for HIV prevalence, institutional quality, social distance, and economic indicators using data from the World Values Survey. The results obtained indicate that HIV prevalence affects social capital negatively. The empirical estimates suggest that a one standard deviation increase in HIV prevalence will lead to a 1 percent decline in trust, controlling for other determinants of social capital. If one moves from a country with a relatively low level of HIV prevalence such as Estonia, to a country with a high level such as Zimbabwe, one would observe an approximate 8 percent decline in social capital. These results are robust in a number of dimensions and highlight the empirical importance of an additional mechanism through which HIV/AIDS hinders the development process.
