Abstract

This paper examines the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on memories and metaphors associated with the earlier AIDS epidemic. It argues that while previous research has focused on how HIV informs COVID-19, the reverse relationship has received insufficient attention. The authors propose a more comprehensive understanding of the issues, using insights from the sociology of memory. Experiences during COVID-19 not only reshape perceptions of HIV in the present but also transform how we remember the AIDS crisis of the past. We discuss the impact of these pandemics particularly for gay and bisexual men and their connected communities. Doing so underscores the co-construction of collective memories in the present, suggesting that COVID-19 has not only redefined our experience of HIV, but it has also reframed our understanding of the earlier AIDS crisis. We conclude by highlighting the potential for these transformations to be leveraged for empowerment, political action and change. Revisiting and reframing our memories of AIDS in the light of COVID-19 can open up new avenues for optimism and positive engagement.

从艾滋病到 COVID-19,再到 COVID-19。
本文探讨了 COVID-19 大流行对与早期艾滋病流行相关的记忆和隐喻的影响。文章认为,以往的研究主要关注艾滋病病毒如何影响 COVID-19,而对反向关系的关注却不够。作者利用记忆社会学的见解,提出了对这些问题更全面的理解。COVID-19 期间的经历不仅重塑了当下人们对 HIV 的看法,也改变了我们对过去艾滋病危机的记忆。我们特别讨论了这些流行病对男同性恋者、双性恋者及其相关社区的影响。这样做强调了当下集体记忆的共同构建,表明 COVID-19 不仅重新定义了我们对 HIV 的体验,而且还重新构建了我们对早期 AIDS 危机的理解。最后,我们强调了利用这些转变进行赋权、政治行动和变革的潜力。根据 COVID-19 重新审视和重塑我们对艾滋病的记忆,可以为乐观主义和积极的参与开辟新的途径。
