A Multidisciplinary Approach to AIDS
The AMAS Project (Aproximación Multidisciplinar para el Abordaje del SIDA - A Multidisciplinary Approach to AIDS) encompasses a number of research strategies aimed at establishing a core of shared and shareable thought on the personal and social repercussions of AIDS.
AIDS is a galaxy of phenomena that make up the disease itself. This project is designed to find an approach to the overall problem, shying away from a linear approach and accepting complexity and disarray as inherent to the disease.
Obviously, the project needs to be multidisciplinary, since complexity is not something that can be addressed from any single discipline. Different approaches will provide different perceptions, and the organization of these differences will reveal new, unexpected changes and variations of the disease.
Our ultimate intent is to gain a better understanding of what we have called "the AIDS galaxy," by generating shared and shareable knowledge that can provide new ways and tools for approaching the disease and at the same time stimulating further research.
