After delayed governmental responses, the media has been consistently deployed as an essential tool for prevention. But HIV prevention campaigns reflect multiple conflicting and shifting agendas that encompass far more than the imparting of information about how to limit the spread of the virus. In \u003ci\u003ePrevention: Gender, Sexuality, HIV, and the Media in Côte d'Ivoire\u003c\/i\u003e, Christine Cynn draws from postcolonial, queer, and feminist film and media studies to critique global HIV prevention efforts and how they attempt to reshape gendered sexualities and notions of family in line with the rationality of neoliberalism.\u003cbr\u003e More specifically, Cynn argues that through the bolstering of normative conceptions of gendered sexualities and families, HIV prevention media campaigns seek to actively create proper subjects, a goal corresponding with nation-building projects and reproducing their terms of belonging. During periods of increasingly virulent political and economic struggles in Côte d'Ivoire, such HIV prevention messages have lent support to lender- and state-mandated structural adjustment policies and to the exclusionary logic that casts some-such as those suffering from AIDS-related illnesses, those labeled as \"homosexual,\" sex workers, intravenous drug users, and the HIV-positive child-as implicitly unassimilable to the community and nation. Deeply interdisciplinary, \u003ci\u003ePrevention\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light new forms of exclusion and expands scholarship on gender and sexual normativities as it intersects with that on public health, neoliberalism, and film and media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristine Cynn is Assistant Professor of Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 16, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52618358063411,"sku":"9780814254981","price":66.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Q3QzdG1KUFhtdHFKN0JtWjZld3hIUT09.webp?v=1761904636","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/prevention-gender-sexuality-hiv-and-the-media-in-cote-divoire-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
