自世纪末以来，斯威士兰（前斯威士兰）有关艾滋病毒/艾滋病的全球公共卫生论述一直在推动那里的文化变革。文化变革是指当地对保皇党国家传统主义政策和项目价值的批判意识，这些政策和项目被称为“斯威士兰文化”。本文通过对卫生政策文件的女权主义话语分析，辅以民族志的见解，展示了全球卫生话语如何应对这一流行病，主要是批评传统主义，理由是它在性别和性暴力以及对妇女的不平等中造成伤害和传播风险。这种批评呼应了更长的历史，即对当地社会文化习俗的外部质疑，今天包括王权，作为健康的性别问题，这一举动同时质疑国家传统主义，但反过来又巩固了国家自身的文化改造。更广泛地说，这个案例展示了性别和性行为如何重塑后殖民非洲民族国家，卫生系统和文化之间的关系。
Since the late twentieth century, HIV/AIDS-related global public health discourses in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) have been driving cultural change there. Cultural change refers to local critical consciousness about the value of the royalist state's traditionalist policies and projects that get branded as a 'Swazi Culture'. Using feminist discourse analysis of health policy documents, supplemented by ethnographic insights, this article shows how global health discourses addressing the epidemic are critical of traditionalism predominately on grounds that it creates harms and transmission risk in gender- and sexual-based violence and inequalities for women. This criticism echoes a longer history of external interrogations of local sociocultural practices, today including kingship, as a gendered problem for health, a move that simultaneously interrogates state traditionalism but, in turn, solidifies the state's own cultural reifications. More broadly, this case shows how gender and sexuality reshape relationships between nation-states, health systems, and culture in postcolonial Africa.
