Partimos do pressuposto de que anteriormente a detecção desta doença os médicos revestiam-se de um "poder de cura". Pretendemos averiguar empiricamente a transformação do entendimento deste "poder médico" diante a Síndrome da Imunodefíciência Adquirida (AIDS). Seguiremos uma abordagem teórica-metodológica centrada na Teoria das Representações Sociais de Moscovici (1961) e na Teoria de Poder contidas na obra de Foucault. Nosso trabalho de campo foi centrado numa investigação tendo como aporte: oito médicos infectologistas, oito enfermeiros, oito auxiliares de enfermagem e oito doutorandos que trabalham no setor de Doenças Infecciosas e Parasitárias (DIP) em três hospitais da cidade do Recife: Hospital Correia Picanço, Hospital das Clínicas e Hospital Oswaldo Cmz. Sendo o primeiro público e os dois últimos universitários. Os dados foram coletados e interpretados, utilizando-se métodos e técnicas da Antropologia: entrevistas, observação participante e o método da associação livre. Também, buscamos na Antropologia Cognitiva, através do SPSS, trabalhar os dados quantitativos. Os resultados obtidos nesta investigação apontam para a formação de uma nova representação social que nos conduzem não ao entendimento de um "poder de cura", mas a uma preocupação de um poder voltado a promoção da "qualidade de vida". / This present study discusses the social representation the "medicai power" invested over four professional categories: infectologist physicians, nurses, nurses auxiliaries and medicines students who work in the treatment of AIDS. We started from the pressuposition that before the dectection of the disease, those ones were holders of a "healing power" . We intend to verify empirically the transformation of the understanding of this "realing power" face to the AIDS. We will follow na approach methodologic-theoric focused on the theory of Social Representation of Moscovici (1961) and on the Theory of Power present in the works the Focault. Our field study was centred on an investigation having as souries: eight infectologist, physisians, eight nurses, eight nursing auxiliaries and eight students of medicine. Who work in the section ofInfections and Parasitary Diseases in three hospitais in the city of Recife: Correia Picanço Hospital, Hospital of Clinics and Oswaldo Cruz Hospital, being the first a public one and the last ones, universitaries. The data were collected and analyzed, utilizing methods and techniques of antropology: interviews, participativo observation and the method ofbrainstorming we also searched by the Cognitivo Antropology through SPSS, work the quantitativo data the results obtained in this investigation point to the formation of a new social representation that leads us not to understanding of "healing power", but to worriment to apower involved with the promotion to the "quality oflife".

M.Ed. / The word HIV/AIDS has dominated the media day in and day out, news is up as to how the pandemic is ravaging the whole world. Particularly at risk are the children and young people. In this mist of confusion and frustration one cannot really afford to turn a blind eye on this scourge. As there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, the only hope is “awareness” so that people can adequately protect themselves. The aim of this research is to find out whether the inclusion of HIV/AIDS- programmes in the school curriculum may not create an awareness about the epidemic, and as such, prevent the vast spread of the virus. In the light of the statement above, the following questions were formulated: • Are the young people and children aware of the trends and patterns of HIV/AIDS? • Would the inclusion of HIV/AIDS-programmes in the school curriculum bring awareness about the pandemic and reduce the vast spread of the virus? In order to research the problem as stated above, qualitative and quantitative methods were chosen. The choice was informed by the fact that using combined methods will prevent biased findings, develop and enhance the understanding of social phenomena and strengthening triangulation. The findings indicated that the HIV/AIDS-programmes should form part of the curriculum. The conclusions made were based on the impact of HIV/AIDS developed from the literature overview in Chapter 2 and findings from data in Chapter 4. vi Recommendations were made to National, Provincial and School level: • There is a need for a coherent National HIV/AIDS curriculum development strategy which will ensure systematic planning on HIV/AIDS-programmes generally, and in particular conduct a survey to collect data on awareness levels in life skills education. • Effective and monitored communication systems among various stakeholders and curriculum implementers are needed to conduct workshops on HIV/AIDS. • Regional officials need to be empowered to enter into partnerships with other accredited programmes to combat HIV/AIDS. • Educators should be encouraged to develop HIV/AIDS lessons in classrooms in line with national guidelines. Lastly, this study was worth undertaking, taking cognisance of the rate at which HIV/AIDS is killing the people. If the recommendations are considered, there will be an increase of awareness and hopefully a change of behaviour. / Dr. M.C. van Loggerenberg

The current age of AIDS has seen the emergence of a body of literature whose goal it is to make AIDS, its multifarious meanings and overwhelmingly devastating effects, not only visible, but also somehow comprehensible to as many people as possible. Much of this literature is produced by gay men and women, who are among the most intimate witnesses to the AIDS crisis. This thesis explores three AIDS narratives as manifestations of the writers' responsibilities as witnesses to and of HIV and AIDS. The first chapter examines Amy Hoffman's Hospital Time as an act of mourning through which she seeks to shape the reader as a mourner. Mourning is a responsibility, I argue, that Hoffman does not allow the reader to refuse. Reading Derek Jarman's diary Modern Nature through Jacques Derrida's reading of Friedrich Nietzsche's Ecce Homo in The Ear of the Other, Chapter Two theorizes the activist potential of the "signature." Through his garden, Jarman demonstrates how he produces a signature for his dead friends, enabling them to "live" eternally. With this signature Jarman sculpts the reader's own signature, the signature through which he intends for the reader to grant him "life" after death. It is the exposition of the possibility of life through the signature that Jarman understands as his responsibility as a witness to AIDS. And finally, Chapter Three examines Dale Peck's Martin and John as a theorization of the "middle ground" between dominant culture's representations of HIV and AIDS and AIDS activist representations. As a metafictional text, the structure of the novel requests the reader to interpret and negotiate recursively these representations. It is this very request that Peck illustrates as his responsibility. Thus, the writers' foremost responsibility, I propose, is to reproduce in the reader what the writer understands as his or her own responsibilities in witnessing AIDS. The reader must become the witness. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

O matrimônio integra um dos sete sacramentos na Teologia Católica e é uma representação da união entre Cristo e a Igreja. O casal que se une em matrimônio promete diante de sua comunidade de fé estabelecer um vinculo indissolúvel pautado no amor e na fidelidade. Assim, espera-se que o homem e a mulher que se casam construam um lar onde os filhos aprendam importantes valores morais e religiosos. Observa-se, contudo, que o lar não tem sido o ambiente de proteção que deveria ser e é nesse espaço que inúmeras mulheres que só tem um parceiro sexual tem se contaminado com o HIV/AIDS. Inúmeras pesquisas realizadas em território nacional têm apontado uma feminização dessa síndrome e colocado as mulheres casadas em situação de vulnerabilidade. Diante dessas considerações, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar se no município de Itabuna as mulheres casadas também são as que mais têm se contaminado. Além disso, buscou-se levantar o perfil socioeconômico dessas mulheres e como elas lidam com a certeza da infecção. Os resultados obtidos revelam uma tendência à feminização da AIDS no município e a permanência da convivência matrimonial da mulher contaminada por conta de questões financeiras. Verificou-se também um silenciamento por parte da Igreja Católica em relação a esse assunto, assim como ocorre nos demais Estados brasileiros. / Marriage is part the seven sacraments in Catholic theology and is a representation of the union between Christ and the Church. The couple that is joined in marriage vows in front of a community to establish an indissoluble bond ruled in love and faithfulness. So, it is expected that man and woman who marry build a home where children learn important moral and religious values. There is, however, that the home has is not been the environment protection that should be and this space is that many women who have only one sexual partner have been infected with VIH/AIDS. Numerous surveys in the country have shown feminization syndrome and placed married women in this risk group. Given these considerations, this research aimed to investigate whether the city of Itabuna the married women are also the ones that have been more contaminated. In addition, we attempted to raise the socioeconomic profile of these women and how they deal with the certainty of infection. There was also a silencing by the Catholic Church in this matter, as it occurs in other Brazilian states.

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2003. / The study investigated student behaviour and knowledge related to HIV/AiDS on the University of Zuluiand campus. Because of the social and economic conditions that exist in the country today such research is seen as both urgent and pertinent it is hoped that the study will add to the knowledge base generated by other studies conducted at tertiary institutions throughout South Africa. The study had certain assumptions, which have been supported by the results of the survey, it was postulated that women students wouid be more conservative in sexual behaviour than mate students and that femaies would be more accepting and empathetic towards People living with HiV/AIDS (PLWHA). The study also predicted that there wouid be a segment of the student population who would reveal a dissonance between attitudes, knowledge and behaviours and also that a proportion of students of both sexes would reveal significant gaps in their knowledge about how HIV/AIDS is transmitted. These predictions are underpinned by the results and discussion thereof, which places them within the context of early 21st century South African society.
