'All we have is each other'- A queer and feminist political economy of the AIDS crisis. Understanding the relationship between queer women, social reproduction, and care as analyzed through the framework of the AIDS crisis of 1980-1997.There are numerous histories of the AIDS crisis that have been written and yet overwhelmingly many of them continue to have marginalised, subsumed, and neglected the necessary role of queer women within the crisis. My work is therefore an interjection that addresses this empirical gap and fills it with histories of care and activism. This research project builds upon the emerging field of queer political economy, in order to explore the under-researched topic of the care work and activism undertaken by queer women throughout the AIDS crisis. Theoretically the research brings together queer and feminist work that centres the relationships between queerness, the family and neoliberal capitalism, and empirically the research contributes to histories of the AIDS crisis in the Global North by investigating the work and burdens of care within queer communities. The main objectives of the research are as follows: (a) to draw upon both queer theory and social reproduction scholarship in order develop a queer theory of care that sheds new light on the erased histories of queer women during the AIDS crisis; (b) to critically reflect on the limits of neoliberalism and capitalism for queer people and communities and recognise the gendered, classed, and racialised implications for queer women in terms of the burden of care and its implications on exacerbating the AIDS crisis; and, (c) to use the findings of this study to demonstrate the contemporary significance of debates about queerness and care particularly in terms of the relationships between queer political economy, mutual aid/care and alternative economies.

“我们拥有的只是彼此”——艾滋病危机的酷儿和女权主义政治经济学。通过 1980-1997 年艾滋病危机的框架来分析，理解酷儿女性、社会再生产和护理之间的关系。关于艾滋病危机的历史已有大量记载，但绝大多数仍然被边缘化、纳入，并忽视了酷儿女性在危机中的必要作用。因此，我的作品是一个感叹词，旨在解决这一经验空白，并用关怀和行动主义的历史来填补它。 该研究项目以酷儿政治经济学这一新兴领域为基础，旨在探讨酷儿女性在整个艾滋病危机期间所从事的护理工作和行动主义这一尚未充分研究的主题。从理论上讲，该研究汇集了酷儿和女权主义的工作，以酷儿、家庭和新自由主义资本主义之间的关系为中心；从经验上讲，该研究通过调查酷儿社区内的工作和护理负担，为北半球艾滋病危机的历史做出了贡献。该研究的主要目标如下： (a) 利用酷儿理论和社会再生产学术来发展酷儿关怀理论，为艾滋病危机期间酷儿妇女被抹去的历史提供新的线索； (b) 批判性地反思新自由主义和资本主义对酷儿群体和社区的限制，并认识到酷儿妇女在护理负担方面的性别化、阶级化和种族化影响及其对加剧艾滋病危机的影响； (c) 利用本研究的结果来证明有关酷儿和关怀的辩论的当代意义，特别是在酷儿政治经济、互助/关怀和替代经济之间的关系方面。
