Abstract:This thought piece reflects on David Román's 2000 GLQ article "Not-about-AIDS" as an important intervention in which he critiques other intellectuals and public figures who have proclaimed or celebrated the "end" of AIDS because of combination therapy. I repeat and extend this critique into the present, questioning the lack of memory and discourse on AIDS in contemporary US culture. Like Román, I insist on the importance of humanistic discourse on AIDS through embodied, cultural interventions. Moreover, I point to discursive backlash that humanistic discourse often solicits via a critique of Arlene Croce's review of Still/Here. Finally, I point to the importance of platforms such as GLQ to continue a critical dialogue on how AIDS is discussed.

讨论不可讨论的

摘要：这篇思想文章反映了大卫·罗曼 (David Román) 2000 年 GLQ 的文章“Not-about-AIDS”作为一项重要干预措施，他批评了其他因联合治疗而宣布或庆祝艾滋病“终结”的知识分子和公众人物。我重复并将这种批评延伸到现在，质疑当代美国文化中缺乏关于艾滋病的记忆和话语。像罗曼一样，我坚持通过具身性的文化干预来讨论关于艾滋病的人文主义话语的重要性。此外，我指出了人文主义话语经常通过对 Arlene Croce 对 Still/Here 的评论的批评而引起的话语反弹。最后，我指出 GLQ 等平台对于继续就如何讨论艾滋病进行批判性对话的重要性。
