'All we have is each other' - A queer and feminist political economy of the AIDS crisis

“我们所拥有的只是彼此”-艾滋病危机的酷儿和女权主义政治经济学。通过对1980- 1997年艾滋病危机的分析，理解酷儿女性、社会再生产和关怀之间的关系。有许多关于艾滋病危机的历史已经被写出来，但绝大多数人仍然边缘化，包容，忽视了酷儿女性在危机中的必要作用。因此，我的作品是一个感叹词，它解决了这个经验空白，并用关怀和行动主义的历史填补了它。 这个研究项目建立在酷儿政治经济学的新兴领域，以探索在艾滋病危机期间由酷儿女性进行的护理工作和行动主义的研究不足的主题。从理论上讲，这项研究汇集了酷儿和女权主义者的工作，集中在酷儿，家庭和新自由主义资本主义之间的关系，从经验上讲，这项研究通过调查酷儿社区内的工作和护理负担，为全球北方艾滋病危机的历史做出了贡献。研究的主要目的如下：（a）借鉴酷儿理论和社会再生产理论，发展一种酷儿关怀理论，以揭示艾滋病危机期间酷儿妇女被抹去的历史;（B）批判性地反思新自由主义和资本主义对同性恋者和社区的限制，并认识到性别，阶级，同性恋女性在护理负担方面的种族化影响及其对加剧艾滋病危机的影响;以及，（c）利用本研究的结果来证明关于酷儿和关怀的辩论的当代意义，特别是在酷儿政治经济学，互助/照顾和替代经济。

'All we have is each other'- A queer and feminist political economy of the AIDS crisis. Understanding the relationship between queer women, social reproduction, and care as analyzed through the framework of the AIDS crisis of 1980-1997.There are numerous histories of the AIDS crisis that have been written and yet overwhelmingly many of them continue to have marginalised, subsumed, and neglected the necessary role of queer women within the crisis. My work is therefore an interjection that addresses this empirical gap and fills it with histories of care and activism. This research project builds upon the emerging field of queer political economy, in order to explore the under-researched topic of the care work and activism undertaken by queer women throughout the AIDS crisis. Theoretically the research brings together queer and feminist work that centres the relationships between queerness, the family and neoliberal capitalism, and empirically the research contributes to histories of the AIDS crisis in the Global North by investigating the work and burdens of care within queer communities. The main objectives of the research are as follows: (a) to draw upon both queer theory and social reproduction scholarship in order develop a queer theory of care that sheds new light on the erased histories of queer women during the AIDS crisis; (b) to critically reflect on the limits of neoliberalism and capitalism for queer people and communities and recognise the gendered, classed, and racialised implications for queer women in terms of the burden of care and its implications on exacerbating the AIDS crisis; and, (c) to use the findings of this study to demonstrate the contemporary significance of debates about queerness and care particularly in terms of the relationships between queer political economy, mutual aid/care and alternative economies.
