摘要

本文的目的是通过对斯瓦希里小说的探索来说明“与疾病治疗有关的知识冲突”的历史演变，这是斯瓦希里文学类型中关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的特征(Nicolini 2022)。因此，我将通过对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的知识和所涉及的多种治疗方法进行分析，以及通过对艾滋病毒/艾滋病隐喻的双重研究，从美学和语言上研究流行病的认识论。此外，我将比较斯瓦希里语文学和东非英语文学中艾滋病的双重隐喻。最后，我将以最近的Covid-19大流行来结束研究。现代医学与非科学知识在疾病治疗方面的冲突，似乎也是社交媒体上关于Covid-19的当代讨论的一个持续特征。©2022，都灵大学，Facolta di linguue e Letterature Straniere。版权所有。

A divisive disease Clashing treatments for HIV/AIDS in Swahili literature

The aim of this paper is to illustrate the historical evolution of the “clashes between epistemes in relation to the treatment of illness,” which characterize Swahili literary genres on HIV/AIDS (Nicolini 2022) through an exploration of Swahili novels. Therefore, I will investigate the epistemologies of a pandemic both analytically, by investigating both the knowledge of HIV/AIDS and the plural ways of treatment involved, as well as aesthetically and linguistically, by examining the metaphorical doubles of HIV/AIDS. Moreover, I will compare the metaphorical doubles of HIV/AIDS in Swahili literature to the metaphors in Anglophone literature from East Africa. Finally, I will conclude the study with a glance at the recent Covid-19 pandemic. The clash, between modern medicine and non-scientific knowledge(-s) in relation to the treatment of illnesses, seems also to be a continuous feature in the contemporary discussions dealing with Covid-19 circulating in the social media. © 2022, Universita degli Studi di Torino, Facolta di Lingue e Letterature Straniere.

期刊介绍： The journal has three main aims. First of all, it aims at encouraging interdisciplinary research on Asia and Africa, maintaining high research standards. Second, by providing a global forum for Asian and African scholars, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community and civil society, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. The third aim for a specialized academic journal is to widen the opportunities for publishing worthy scholarly studies, to stimulate debate, to create an ideal agora where ideas and research results can be compared and contrasted. Another challenge is to combine a scientific approach and the interest for cultural debate, artistic production, biographic narrative, etcetera. This journal wants to be original (even hybrid) also in its structure, where academic rigor should not hinder access to the vitality of experience and of artistic and cultural production.
