520 The primary objective of this case study is to provide a
theoretical framework for explaining how the violence
associated with political (practices of the sodomy law and
state-police -- bifurcated and measured as structural and
direct violence respectively) and cultural (practices of
religious and dancehall -- measured as symbolic violence)
institutions in Jamaica constructs the HIV/AIDS
masculinity syndrome. This syndrome is characterized as --
institutional violence transfer stigma and discrimination
associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) on to
black working-class and underclass heterosexual and MSM
living with HIV/AIDS -- measured as fear and shame.
Defensive practices of fear and shame are characterized by
: men's refusal to test for HIV and delay treatment after
diagnosis; mask their same-sex practices and HIV-positive
status by engaging in multiple partnerships with women and
are reluctant to report homophobic violence committed
against them to the state police
520 The hypotheses are: H1 (a) Strong practices of political
violence stemming from the presence of the sodomy law
promote strong defensive practices among black working-
class and underclass MSM and heterosexual men living with
HIV/AIDS -- thereby creating the HIV/AIDS masculinity
syndrome. H1 (b) Strong practices of political violence by
the state police promote strong defensive practices among
black working-class and underclass MSM and heterosexual
men living with HIV/AIDS -- thereby creating the HIV/AIDS
masculinity syndrome. H2: Strong practices of cultural
violence by dancehall and religious institutions promote
strong defensive practices among black working-class and
underclass MSM and heterosexual men living with HIV/AIDS -
- thereby creating the HIV/AIDS masculinity syndrome
520 Based on a qualitative research design involving an
explanatory case study strategy that includes both primary
(formal functional activity or participant observation)
and secondary (archival records and documentations) data
sources; the hypothesized expectations are analyzed by
utilizing a characteristic pattern matching technique.
This technique involves the actual (independent
measurement practices of structural violence -- direct
violence and symbolic violence -- and their respective
characteristic patterns of measures' interrelationships
with measurement (dependent) practices of fear and shame.
The independent and dependent characteristic patterns of
measures are matched with the interrelationships of the
theoretical pattern (hypotheses). The researcher finds
support for the theorized expectation
