Häftad bok. Studentlitteratur Ab,sweden. 2004. 368 sidor.
Nära nyskick. HIV/AIDS is a phenomenon that makes it particularly obvious that we live in a globalised world. HIV/AIDS makes global economic inequalities and dependencies clearly visible. Patterns of contagion, possibilities for treatment and the distribution of drugs reflect the present economic world order as well as old colonial power relations. Furthermore the fact that HIV/AIDS today is widely spread across the world is related to increasing global mobility -- large numbers of refugees, work migrants and tourists moving across borders and continents. Knowledge, as well as myths, are also quickly disseminated through global media. This book is a collaborative project between The Museum of World Culture and Museion at Göteborg University, connected to the exhibition 'No Name Fever: AIDS in the Age of Globalisation'. For its exhibitions, the Museum engages an interdisciplinary team for the development of knowledge and content. This volume includes contributions from researchers working in the Social Sciences and the Humanities, including some of the leading international researchers on HIV/AIDS.
