Literature as a Means of Social Movement : HIV/AIDS in African Literature

本研究项目阐明了小说如何在非洲防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病的社会运动中发挥作用。在非洲防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病的运动中，采用了各种视听叙事艺术，如电影、戏剧、电视和广播连续剧。他们呼吁观众的感官，并培养对问题的同情。与此相反，小说则批判性地表现了个体内化异性恋社会话语的过程。读者密切关注程序，但以一种超然的方式，并理解这个问题的情感以及分析。这两种叙事艺术形式，即视听艺术和文学艺术相辅相成，带来所期望的社会转型。

The present research project has clarified how novels work in a social movement in case of the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. In campaigns against HIV/AIDS in Africa, various visual and audio narrative arts such as films, the theatre, TV and radio serial dramas are applied. They appeal the senses of the audience, and nurture empathy toward the issue. In contrast, novels critically represent the procedure of individuals internalizing the social discourses of heterosexism. The reader follows the procedure closely but in a detached way, and understands the issue emotionally as well as analytically. Both forms of narratives arts, that is, audio and visual arts and literary arts complement each other to bring the desired social transformation.
