Abstract
- Utilizing a range of ethnographic data from an AIDS hotline, a women's shelter, a night club, AIDS campaigns, news articles, and interviews with health bureaucrats, this paper explores the history of AIDS in Japan and the ways in which official practices reproduce systems of domination. This paper examines the official categories of "foreign woman" and "prostitution" as discursive strategies of containment, and argues that nationalist discourses and representations of sexuality are closely linked in maintaining relations of power.
