本三年研究計畫，企圖以污名疾病的情感治理為主軸，追溯本地愛滋非官方組織（NGO）的興起與流變，探究他們如何回應愛滋污名。受文化研究者Kane Race 以情感結構重構「受愛滋影響社群」(communities affected by AIDS)提法的啟發，我將在情感經濟裡，試圖以物質分析來動態捕捉台灣的愛滋經驗，探究感染者的主體形構、人際關係、社群互動以及愛滋社群在回應特定議題上的具體實踐與競合。我將先以早年投入愛滋防治的個人生命敘事和文本，看待哀悼與哀傷如何作用於1990 年代浮現的愛滋社群想像。接著我將審視愛滋社群如何在建制化的脈絡中回應兩件台灣愛滋史上重大的社會事件（2004 年的同志農安街轟趴事件以及2006 年的關愛之家與再興社區的訴訟案），並深究其污名的性/別生產與羞恥的政治。最後我將檢視晚近愛滋「正常化」過程中所出現於社群照顧的正向情感治理，並探究其與愛滋公共、政治化的關連。透過史料蒐集、論述分析與深度訪談，我將試圖書寫一個關於個體和社群情感政治的系譜史，探討台灣現代多種異質矛盾的社會力與公權力如何在愛滋議題上競逐與匯流，以及新式社會規訓技藝和科技如何造就晚期現代自我管理。我希望藉著這一個歷史過程的刻畫來顯示愛滋NGO 的運作是如何鑲嵌於台灣愛滋防治政策的流變與法律沿革，並深究潛藏於愛滋人權進展中的幽微羞恥政治。Focusing on the question of emotional governance, the present three-year project seeks to probe the shifting role of the AIDS non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Taiwan by tracing their responses to AIDS stigma. Inspired by Kane Race’s affective reformulation of the policy phrase ‘communities affected by AIDS’, I attempt to capture, through a materialist analysis, the Taiwanese AIDS experience within the economy of emotions. Looking into the subjective formation of HIV-positive people and their social relations, I also aim to investigate how community responses to AIDS are forged through embodied practices and how NGOs diverge on certain key issues with regards to the management of AIDS stigma. I begin this project by looking at the personal narratives of those involved in early AIDS prevention work, showing how specific workings of mourning and melancholia gave rise to the imagined AIDS community in the 1990s. Then I turn to examine two key social events in Taiwan’s AIDS history - namely, the police raid of a gay sex party in 2004, and the 2006 civil lawsuit filed against the Harmony Home Association (which runs a half-way home for people with HIV) - and explore how the newly-institutionalized AIDS NGOs negotiated with the forcible production of stigma and shame. Finally, I consider a mode of governance which has emerged from recent attempts to normalize AIDS in community care, a social technique that seeks to guide people with HIV to live with positive feelings and outlooks, and I meditate on its profound disciplinary effects in relation to the politicization of AIDS. Through discursive analysis and in-depth interviews, I endeavor to chronicle a genealogy of emotional politics on both the individual and the collective level, showing how multiple and contradictory social forces contest, or converge with, state power, and how new social technologies of AIDS condition self-conduct and agency in late modernity. It is hoped that this historical delineation will reveal the imbrication of AIDS NGOs within AIDS official policy while underscoring the liminal politics of shame that form a halo around the progression of AIDS human rights in Taiwan. 研究期間：10008 ~ 10107
