Necropolítica no campo do HIV: algumas reflexões a partir do estigma da Aids
Felipe Cazeiro, Geórgia Sibele Nogueira da Silva, Emilly Mel Fernandes de Souza
Abstract
The article aims to raise reflections about the necropolitics directed to HIV/AIDS in Brazil from a set of rationalities that permeate the processes of configuration of the governmental agenda, treatment of the disease, and the policies and technologies involved. For this purpose, a non-systematic theoretical review was carried out from a threefold aspect: the stigma of AIDS, necropolitics, and life politics. We concluded that life politics, as opposed to necropolitics, contributes to the defense of human rights and health, above all, to the demystification of stigma and the politics of enmity historicized in AIDS.
