Abstract
El estigma social, entendido como “un atributo profundamente desacreditador” (Goffman, 1963/1986), ha sido reconocido como un elemento que “contribuye dramáticamente a la expansión de la epidemia” (De Moya et al., 1998a) del VIH en la República Dominicana, impactando negativamente tanto la Respuesta Nacional como la calidad de vida de personas que viven con esta condición de salud. Estudios previos (Miric, 2005) sugieren el análisis de leyendas contemporáneas como un elemento clave para la comprensión del estigma social vinculado al VIH y al SIDA y de los mecanismos a través de los cuales este fenómeno se construye y se mantiene en la sociedad Dominicana. Partiendo de lo anterior, se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, enfocado en el análisis de las leyendas contemporáneas sobre el VIH y al SIDA y su relación con el fenómeno de estigma social vinculado a esta condición de salud en la República Dominicana desde una perspectiva microsociológica. El estudio se fundamenta en el concepto de marcos organizativos de Erving Goffman (1974) y su trabajo pionero en la conceptualización del estigma social, como un enfoque teórico fértil y, a la vez, poco explorado en el análisis del papel desempeñado por las leyendas contemporáneas en la construcción social del VIH y el SIDA en la sociedad dominicana...
Social stigma, defined as “an attribute that is deeply discrediting” (Goffman, 1963/1986), has been acknowledged as an element that “dramatically contributes to the expansion of the HIV epidemic” (De Moya et al., 1998a) in the Dominican Republic, having a negative impact both on the National Response and the quality of life of people living with this health condition. Available evidence (Miric, 2005) points towards the analysis of contemporary legends as a key element in the comprehension of social stigma attached to HIV and AIDS, and the mechanisms through which this phenomenon is constructed and reinforced in Dominican society. Based on this, we have conducted an observational, descriptive and transversal study, focused on the analysis of contemporary legends associated to HIV and AIDS, and their relationship with stigma related to this health condition in the Dominican Republic, assuming a microsociological perspective. This study is based on the concept of frame as defined by Erving Goffman (1974), and his pioneer work on the concept of social stigma, as a fertile and relatively unexplored theoretical approach in the analysis of contemporary legends and their role in the social construction of HIV and AIDS in Dominican Republic...
