Accepted Paper:

Creative strategies to overcome social stigma among male HIV carriers in Chile  
Angélica Cabezas-Pino (Universidad de La Frontera)

Paper short abstract:

This research project bring together the imaginary and autobiographic photo elicitation to explore social strategies among carriers of the HIV/AIDS virus to subvert stigma and exclusion in Chile.

Paper long abstract:

The paper explores routes to intimate and self-reflexive narratives of the participants using innovative ethnographic methods based on collaborative photography. The photo elicitation will draw on the imagination of the participants to give access to their experiences and to appropriately represent their journey as HIV carriers, creating strategies for survival within Chilean society. The participants create their own imaginary photographic diaries in relation to their disease, and then to interpret their photographs. They will choose the motives of their photographic diary spontaneously, as an imaginary response to their physical and social environment, to approach dreams, desires and expectations.
