| Summary |
"In 2014, veteran HIV/AIDS activists and media makers Alexandra Juhasz and Theodore (Ted) Kerr noticed a resurgence of mainstream interest in representing white gay male experiences of "the AIDS crisis" of the 1980s and early 1990s. This plethora of representations followed a long silence around HIV/AIDS (which the authors call the Second Silence, the First Silence indicating the environment of fear, homophobia, and racism that characterized the pandemic's early days). In We Are Having This Conversation Now, Juhasz and Kerr center conversation as a crucial method for sharing intergenerational activist knowledge and honoring the robust media ecology that has always surrounded HIV/AIDS. Identifying what was missing from Crisis Revisitation films like Dallas Buyers Club and How to Survive a Plague-the foundation of collectivism, intersectionality and feminism that the AIDS movement was built on-Juhasz and Kerr seek to reintroduce these commitments as crucial frameworks for continued conversation about HIV/AIDS"-- Provided by publisher |
