电影描绘感染艾滋病毒和（或）受艾滋病毒影响的农村妇女的方式可能影响人们对社会变革的想象，包括妇女参与解决问题进程的程度。这是因为，除了将问题概念化之外，这种陈述往往将妇女置于与问题情况有关或在问题情况内的某种位置，这反过来又影响到如何制定解决办法。本文采用论述的方法来探讨达雷尔·鲁特的电影《昨天》（2004）中南非农村妇女感染艾滋病毒和/或受艾滋病毒影响的形象，该片以夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省的农村为背景。它考虑了这部电影如何处理结构性暴力和农村妇女机构在抗击艾滋病方面的紧张关系。结构性暴力对农村妇女的经历产生了重大影响，从而影响了她们的健康状况。然而，在代表农村妇女时，过于强调结构性暴力有可能将她们描绘成被动或无助的受害者，从而严重限制她们的能动性。
The ways in which rural women living with and/or affected by HIV are portrayed in films can potentially influence how social transformation is imagined, including the extent to which the women can be involved in problem-solving processes. This is because, in addition to conceptualising the problem, such representations often place women in a certain position in relation to, or within, the problematic situation, which in turn influences how solutions are framed. This paper uses a discursive approach to explore the portrayal of South African rural women living with and/or affected by HIV in Darrell Roodt's film, Yesterday (2004), which is set in rural KwaZulu-Natal. It considers how the film deals with the tension between structural violence and rural women's agency in grappling with HIV. Structural violence has a significant impact on the experiences of rural women and, hence, their health outcomes. However, when representing rural women, too heavy an emphasis on structural violence runs the risk of portraying them as passive or helpless victims, thus severely limiting their agency.
