HIV/AIDS would go on to shape Spain throughout its pivotal period as a fledgling democracy, underpinning the cultural explosions of the Movida, a sharp rise in intravenous drug use, and the struggles of a coalescing LGBT+ community. Feeling Sick: The Early Years of HIV/AIDS in Spain examines the cultural history of these early years of HIV/AIDS in Spain as it has been told through television and print media, ephemeral products of visual culture, fiction film, and the so-called risk groups that lived through the epidemic. The book draws on the work of Raymond Williams to characterize this emergent period within a structure of "feeling sick" and thus defined by discordant voices, disagreement, and meaning-making in a period of history in formation. Through close readings of Spanish visual culture and media alongside analysis of historical and medical documents, it asserts that a structure of feeling sick begins to coalesce around the emergence of HIV/AIDS and traces out a distinctive sense of living through history as it unfolds. By critically evaluating a selection of cultural materials, this book claims that the earliest years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Spain reveal common fears about global connectivity, the proliferation of vulnerable ties to others, and the potential of cultural and physical contaminations. Ultimately, Feeling Sick challenges the dominant narratives in which life and disease are seen as separate and unequal, and in which illness is only destructive and devastating. 410 0$aContemporary Hispanic and Lusophone Cultures Series 517 $aFeeling Sick 610 00$aHIV/AIDS 610 00$aSpain 610 00$acultural history 610 00$atelevision 610 00$aprint media 610 00$avisual culture 610 00$afilm 610 00$aHIV/AIDS in Spain 610 00$acapitalism 610 00$aepidemic 610 00$aillness 610 00$acontemporary Spain 610 00$aLGBTQ 610 00$aHIV 610 00$aAIDS 676 $a362.196979200946 700 $aAllbritton$b Dean$01358409 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910723700103321 996 $aFeeling Sick$93368285 997 $aUNINA
