摘要

1987年11月，非裔美国人、退休的美国陆军中士林伍德·博耶特(Linwood Boyette)成为西德首批因涉嫌传播艾滋病毒而入狱的人之一，他的指控是根据巴伐利亚州的一项法律Maßnahmenkatalog(措施目录)提起的。博耶特被指控故意让三名白人男性性伴侣感染艾滋病毒，并使他们面临“死亡危险”。博耶特的种族和国家“差异性”强调了西德普遍认为艾滋病是一种与美国有关的种族化威胁。以他为例，本文将早期西德对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的刑事定罪描述为一种跨大西洋的监禁纪律和种族化惩罚的奇观。这篇文章的结论是，受到美国启发的巴伐利亚应对措施反映了艾滋病毒持续的种族化，这种种族化系统性地伤害了当今美国的有色人种个人和社区。

The Case of Linwood Boyette and Transatlantic Imaginaries of AIDS, Race, and Carcerality

In November 1987, Linwood Boyette, an African American man and retired US army sergeant, became one of the first people in West Germany to be jailed for alleged HIV transmission, following charges brought under a legal Maßnahmenkatalog (catalog of measures) in the state of Bavaria. Boyette stood accused of having knowingly exposed three white male sexual partners to HIV and bringing them into “danger of death.” Boyette’s racial and national “otherness” underscored the widespread West German perception of AIDS as a racialized threat linked to the United States. With his example, this article frames early West German criminalization of HIV/AIDS as a transatlantic spectacle of carceral discipline and racialized punishment. The article concludes that the US-inspired Bavarian response mirrors an ongoing carceral racialization of HIV that systemically harms individuals and communities of color in the United States today.
