Identity Construction of the AIDS Patient in Maria-Antònia Oliver's Tallats de lluna Authors Raül David Martínez Gili Elisabet Velázquez Mata Abstract The authors reflect on the equation formulated in Maria-Antònia Oliver’s work Tallats de lluna between AIDS and male character+illness, stigmatising it morally with an association to "deviation". The paper discusses several excerpts from the novel to show how its positioning towards AIDS and the implicit aspects of guilt include the historical construct of "corrupt and guilty deviation" that has been the brandmark of Western sexual identity.
