艾滋病已在新加坡35年，但是许多艾滋病病患仍然饱受社会的歧视与偏见。媒体是人们获取资讯的主要方式之一。因此，艾滋病病患饱受的歧视与偏见和媒体再现有很大的关系。 在异性恋霸权意识形态的影响，社会主流群体与边缘群体形成对立且不平等的权力关系。大众媒体中的艾滋病再现也会受到影响。社会主流群体可以通过大众媒体的再现，将边缘群体进行压迫。边缘群体无法通过大众媒体的方式进行抗衡，只能通过另类媒体的艾滋病再现。 本文将会以斯图亚特·霍尔(Stuart Hall)所提出的“再现作为冲突与协商的场域”为本文的理论框架，探讨新加坡艾滋病的媒体再现。本文将分成两个不同的时期来研究：1985年至1999年以及2000至2020年，探讨不同时期艾滋病在媒体中的再现，并且从中揭露社会主流群体和边缘化群体之间的冲突与协商关系。 关键词：艾滋病 再现 大众媒体 另类媒体 新加坡 冲突与协商 异性恋霸权 HIV/AIDS has been around in Singapore for 35 years. However, many social stigma and prejudice surrounding People Living with HIV/AIDS still persists. As media is an important way people gain information, such social stigma and prejudice can be attributed to media’s representation of HIV/AIDS. Under the heteronormative ideology, the mainstream community and the marginalized have opposing and unequal power relations. Mass media representation of HIV/AIDS is also affected by heteronormative ideology and can be used to repress marginalized communities. As such, marginalized communities cannot rely on mass media’s representation to contend for power, but can only use alternative media’s representation to do so. Using the concept framework laid out by Stuart Hall, this thesis aims to study how representation functions as a site of conflict and negotiation, with a focus on media representation of HIV/AIDS. The thesis is divided into two separate time periods: 1995 to 1999 and 2000 to 2020. This thesis aims to study media representations of HIV/AIDS in these two time periods and how they reflect the conflict and negotiation between the mainstream and marginalised.
