Between Discipline and Empowerment: Temporal Ambivalence at a Sleepaway Camp for HIV-Positive Children in Botswana

ABSTRACT:Recreational camping is increasingly popular among US-based organizations as a means of socializing HIV-positive African children. Drawing on research conducted at a week-long sleepaway camp in Botswana, I argue that the US pediatricians and other volunteers running the camp sometimes undermined their own efforts to orient HIV-positive children to a fantasized future of independence and self-management, thereby evincing tensions between the camp as a space of generational self-transformation and the camp as a space of intensified scrutiny and surveillance. While pediatricians zealously, even forcefully, pursued their mission of separating children from their families and ensuring children's long-term survival by inculcating in them the dispositions necessary for continued adherence to their antiretroviral medications, at times they abandoned this objective in favor of enforcing discipline in the short-term in ways that called into question whether children could ever truly be capable of self-management. I focus on the productive instability of "bare life," that is, a tension between rehabilitation and an unchanging regime of surveillance, in order to draw attention to the temporal ambivalence that pervaded Camp Lesego. The frames of short-term discipline and long-term empowerment and self-transformation, I argue, were always immanent at Camp Lesego even as these frames implied two radically divergent trajectories for campers and for Botswana's epidemic more broadly.

在纪律和赋权之间:博茨瓦纳 HIV 阳性儿童的睡眠营的时间矛盾

摘要:休闲露营在美国组织中越来越受欢迎,作为一种使非洲艾滋病毒阳性儿童社交的手段。借鉴在博茨瓦纳为期一周的睡眠营地进行的研究,我认为美国儿科医生和其他营地志愿者有时会破坏他们自己的努力,使艾滋病毒阳性儿童适应独立和自我管理的幻想未来,从而证明作为代际自我转变空间的营地与作为强化审查和监视空间的营地之间的紧张关系。虽然儿科医生通过向他们灌输继续坚持抗逆转录病毒药物治疗所必需的性格,积极地、甚至是强硬地履行他们的使命,即使儿童与家人分离并确保儿童的长期生存,有时,他们放弃了这一目标,转而支持在短期内强制执行纪律,从而质疑儿童是否真的能够自我管理。我关注“赤裸裸的生活”的生产不稳定,即康复和不变的监视制度之间的紧张关系,以引起人们对普遍存在于莱塞戈营地的时间矛盾的关注。我认为,短期纪律、长期赋权和自我转变的框架在 Lesego 营地始终是内在的,即使这些框架暗示了露营者和博茨瓦纳更广泛的流行病的两条截然不同的轨迹。我关注“赤裸裸的生活”的生产不稳定,即康复和不变的监视制度之间的紧张关系,以引起人们对普遍存在于莱塞戈营地的时间矛盾的关注。我认为,短期纪律、长期赋权和自我转变的框架在 Lesego 营地始终是内在的,即使这些框架暗示了露营者和博茨瓦纳更广泛的流行病的两条截然不同的轨迹。我关注“赤裸裸的生活”的生产不稳定,即康复和不变的监视制度之间的紧张关系,以引起人们对普遍存在于莱塞戈营地的时间矛盾的关注。我认为,短期纪律、长期赋权和自我转变的框架在 Lesego 营地始终是内在的,即使这些框架暗示了露营者和博茨瓦纳更广泛的流行病的两条截然不同的轨迹。
