“This Path Is Full of Thorns”: Narrative, Subjunctivity, and HIV in Indonesia
Annemarie Samuels is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology at Leiden University. She is Principal Investigator of the ERC project “Globalizing Palliative Care? A Multi-sited Ethnographic Study of Practices, Policies and Discourses of Care at the End of Life. From January 2017 to December 2018 Annemarie was a Marie-Sklodowska Curie Global Fellow at Harvard University (2017) and Leiden University (2018) with the project The Power of Silence: A Medical Anthropological Approach to AIDS Care Narratives. Annemarie is the vice-chair of the Young Academy Leiden.
In 2019 her monograph After the Tsunami: Disaster Narratives and the Remaking of Everyday Life in Aceh was published by the University of Hawai’i press. She also is co-editor of Islam and the Limits of the State: Reconfigurations of Practice, Community, and Authority in Contemporary Aceh (Brill, 2015).
Her other recent publications include Narrative Navigation: HIV and (Good) Care in Aceh, Indonesia (Springer), This Path is Full of Thorns: Narrative, Subjunctivity, and HIV in Indonesia(Ethos), Embodied Narratives of Disaster: The Expression of Bodily Experience in Aceh (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute), Seeing AIDS in Aceh: Sexual Moralities and the Politics of Invisibility in Post-Reconstruction Times (Indonesia), and Narratives of Uncertainty: The Affective Force of Child-Trafficking Rumors in Postdisaster Aceh, Indonesia (American Anthropologist).
Research
In her current research project, she studies the globalization and cultural mediation of palliative care practices, policies and discourses.
In her earlier research projects on post-disaster reconstruction and experiences of living with HIV/AIDS, Annemarie focuses on a first-person perspective of remaking lifeworlds in the face of extreme hardship. Her work explores how people make and remake relations with the world and others through narratives and silences and how they navigate ethical demands in such difficult circumstances. Thereby, it illuminates the ways in which people subjectively engage with the social and political forces that shape their lives in times of crisis.
