Abstract

RECODER, María Laura. Experiencia de enfermedad y narrativa: Notas etnográficas sobre vivir con VIH/Sida en una ciudad del nordeste brasilero. Pap. trab. - Cent. Estud. Interdiscip. Etnolingüíst. Antropol. Sociocult. [online]. 2011, n.21, pp.80-98. ISSN 1852-4508.

From an ethnographic approach we introduce the people affected by HIV/Aids trajectories in order to set out some theoretical and methodological considerations about the illness experience and the narratives. In this way, we will show how these illness experiences, that are built intersubjectively, share features in common; and however they also present a huge variability, that remind us about the uncertain and open feature of the experience.

Keywords : Illness experience; Narrative; HIV/Aids; Ethnography.
