Sex Work is Queer

这个项目探讨了性工作者的积极性和性工作在英国的艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行期间的话语。与男同性恋者和性工作者密切相关的艾滋病毒/艾滋病的出现影响了国家话语中性行为的构建方式，并改变了性工作的考虑和管理方式。与此同时，性工作者从1975年起成立了自己的活动团体和工会，为自己在公共卫生政策和疾病讨论方面的权利而斗争。该项目将性工作者置于性别、劳工、公共卫生和行动主义的交叉历史中。我将利用各种来源，如宣言、通讯、性工作者权利团体、公共卫生和警察当局的官方报告，以及先前存在的和自我进行的口述历史。我认为，艾滋病毒/艾滋病的流行是一个转折点，无论是在性劳动的理解和监管，以及性工作者的经验。

This project explores sex worker activism and the discourse of sex work in Britain during the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The emergence of HIV/AIDS, which was heavily associated with both gay men and sex workers, affected the way in which sexuality was constructed within state discourses, as well as changed how sex work was considered and regulated. Simultaneously, sex workers formed their own activist groups and unions from 1975 onwards, arguing for their own rights in relation to public health policy and discourses of disease. This project centres sex workers within intersecting histories of gender, labour, public health and activism. I will draw on sources, such as manifestos, newsletters, official reports from sex workers'-rights groups, public health and policing authorities, alongside pre-existing and self-conducted oral histories. I argue that the HIV/AIDS epidemic was a turning point in both the understanding and regulation of sexual labour, and the experiences of sex workers.
