Zimbabwe is experiencing one of the most severe AIDS epidemics in the world, with an estimated one out of four people infected with HIV. In rural Zimbabwe, the violence of everyday life is that one out of four people are HIV positive. For both palliative care and pragmatic treatment of HIV-related opportunistic infections, people turn to the traditional system of health and healing not as a substitute for western therapeutics, but as an alternative explanatory model for the diagnosis and management of illness. Given that traditional healers provide the majority of care and treatment for HIV infection in rural Zimbabwe, how they represent HIV within therapeutic consultations directly affects patients' personal meanings and interpretations of the embodied experience of HIV infection. Through the distinct cultural sensibilities of indigenous explanatory models, the afflicted holistically understand and give meaning to the embodied experience of HIV/AIDS.

In rural Zimbabwe, the violence of everyday life is that one out of four people are HIV positive. For both palliative care and pragmatic treatment of HIV-related opportunistic infections, people turn to the traditional system of health and healing not as a substitute for western therapeutics, but as an alternative explanatory model for the diagnosis and management of illness. Given that traditional healers provide the majority of care and treatment for HIV infection in rural Zimbabwe, how they represent HIV within therapeutic consultations directly affects patients' personal meanings and interpretations of the embodied experience of HIV infection.

520 $a In this dissertation I examine the use of traditional healing in the care and treatment of people living with HIV/AIDS. I conducted fifteen months of fieldwork in Chipinge, Zimbabwe where I collected over 150 hours of digital video, with 345 examples of the performance of healing with spirit mediums, diviners and faith healers. I also collected 400 patient illness narratives and 259 follow-up interviews and care and treatment evaluations. Using this data, I explore how the use of highly charged symbols and ritualized communication in the performance of healing transformed patients' embodied experience of HIV-related illness and the cultural performance of dying. For the fieldwork phase of the project, I was successful in winning external research funds from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Social Science Research Council.
