In this special issue of Somatechnics we explore the shifting paradigms 
of HIV in an era that might be defined by "the pharmaceutical turn." Our 
intentions are to unfold the idea of HIV as a chronic illness. The issue 
will focus on how HIV is imagined and constructed in the contemporary 
social, historical and geo-political context. We are especially 
interested in articles that focus on the necro- and biopolitics of HIV?
We invite contributions that analyze how embodied subjectivities (soma) 
and narratives (techne) interplay with prepossessions of HIV. We are 
especially interested in the multifaceted discourses and the continuous 
modifications of medical and pharmacological antiretroviral drugs. More 
specifically, the issue will focus on the various technologies, social 
relationships and organizations of knowledge production on HIV. We 
welcome articles that reimagine HIV patienthoods; activist 
mobilizations; dis/continuities of risk discourses and affectivities of 
HIV; geopolitics; and the temporalities and corporealities of HIV 
embodiment. Submissions should consider how racist, heterosexist and 
nationalist anxieties and melancholies co-construct the somatechnics of 
HIV. Additionally, we are interested in articles that explore HIV 
activism and their discursive and material assemblages. The politics and 
pedagogies of HIV activism includes, but is not limited to unlearning 
endeavors that consider the affective life of HIV and prejudice, lust, 
passion, sex, intimacies and so forth. Finally, we welcome articles that 
theorize the somatechnics of life in the time(s) of HIV.
Submissions must:
? Be approximately 6000-7000 words.
? Employ the Harvard Author-date reference system.
? Be saved as either a Word.doc, docx or rtf file.
? Include a separate title page, including author name, institutional 
affiliation, contact information, and biography (150 words or less).
? Be accompanied by an abstract of between 200-250 words, as well as 
between 4-6 research keywords.
? Be typed double-spaced with left justification and all pages numbered.
Note: Author name(s) should not appear on the article manuscript itself.
Submit abstract and author biography by July 26, 2019 to:
(desiree.ljungcrantz /at/ liu.se) and (malena.gustavson /at/ gmail.com)?

We invite potential contributors to email us at the above address to 
discuss their submission ideas. Following the deadline, guest editors 
will review the manuscripts and determine those to be sent for full peer 
review.
