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

“我们只有彼此”——艾滋病危机的同性恋和女权主义政治经济学。通过1980-1997年的艾滋病危机来理解酷儿女性、社会再生产和关爱之间的关系。关于艾滋病危机的历史已经写了很多，但绝大多数的历史仍然被边缘化，被纳入，忽视了酷儿女性在危机中的必要作用。因此，我的作品是一种感叹词，它解决了这一经验差距，并用关怀和行动主义的历史来填补它。本研究项目建立在酷儿政治经济学这一新兴领域的基础上，旨在探索在艾滋病危机期间酷儿女性所承担的护理工作和行动主义这一研究不足的话题。从理论上讲，这项研究将酷儿和女权主义的工作结合在一起，以酷儿、家庭和新自由主义资本主义之间的关系为中心，从经验上讲，这项研究通过调查酷儿社区的工作和照顾负担，为全球北方的艾滋病危机历史做出了贡献。本研究的主要目的如下：(a)利用酷儿理论和社会再生产方面的学术研究，以发展一种酷儿关怀理论，为艾滋病危机期间被抹去的酷儿女性历史提供新的视角；(b)批判性地反思新自由主义和资本主义对酷儿人群和社区的限制，并认识到在照顾负担方面对酷儿女性的性别、阶级和种族化影响及其对加剧艾滋病危机的影响；(c)利用这项研究的发现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、互助/关怀和替代经济之间的关系方面。

'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.
