| Summary: | This article examines, through the work of the Galician poet Lois Pereiro (1958-1995), the role of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in recent Spanish historiography and in post-transitional grammars, in order to re-qualify the biopolitical dimensions of the epidemic in Spain. Through the analysis of two literary texts by Lois Pereiro—the essay Modesta proposición para renunciar a facer xirar a roda hidráulica dunha cíclica historia universal da infamia (Luzes de Galiza, 1996) and the collection of poems Poesía última de amor e enfermidade (1992-1995), published in 1995—this study aims to highlight how literature, as a rhetorical exercise in language using its own means, gives rise to alternative experiences of time. These experiences challenge the interpretations of « presentism » as theorised by François Hartog and, in the Spanish context, those related to « transitional disenchantment ». |
