This thesis identifies the intrinsically choreographic imaginary of artists responding to the AIDS crisis inthe 1980s and 1990s in the US and UK. Looking across film, literature and dance, I argue that queerartists used movement to conceptualise their survival at the end of the century. The failure to notice thepatterns of these movements, I propose, has caused cultural histories to lose sight of the reverberationsof 1968-style protests and choreographic practices in the AIDS era in their memorialising of loss andestablishing of homosocial norms in the wake of the crisis. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, thisthesis (re)animates cultural histories of AIDS activism by restoring the place of the choreographic withinthem. Contributing to performance, film, and literary studies discourses on intermediality, queerness,activism, dance criticism and autobiography, I explore how representations of movement in the periodtroubled ideas about queer work and survival.

本论文从舞蹈艺术的本质上分析了20世纪80年代和90年代美国和英国艺术家对艾滋病危机的反应。纵观电影、文学和舞蹈，我认为酷儿艺术家在世纪末用运动来概念化他们的生存。我认为，没有注意到这些运动的模式，已经导致文化史忽视了1968年式的抗议活动和艾滋病时代的舞蹈实践的反响，这些活动是在危机之后纪念损失和建立同性恋社会规范。本文以跨学科的方法，通过恢复舞蹈在艾滋病运动中的地位，重新激活艾滋病运动的文化史。贡献于表演，电影和文学研究话语的中介性，酷儿，行动主义，舞蹈批评和自传，我探讨如何在该时期的运动表征困扰的想法酷儿工作和生存。
