Viral Politics: Sex Worker Activism and HIV/AIDS Programs from Bangalore to Nairobi By Srigowri Vijayakumar A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Peter B. Evans Professor Gillian P. Hart Professor Lawrence Cohen Spring 2016 Abstract Viral Politics: Sex Worker Activism and HIV/AIDS Programs from Bangalore to Nairobi By Srigowri Vijayakumar Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair This dissertation studies the international success story of India’s HIV/AIDS response and the activism of sex workers and sexual minorities that produced it. A number of recent ethnographies have turned their attention to the workings of state programs in middle-income countries (e.g. Baiocchi 2005; Sharma 2008; A. Gupta 2012; Auyero 2012), demonstrating both the micro-effects of state strategies for managing poverty on poor people and the ways in which state programs are produced outside the visible boundaries of “the state”—through NGOs and social movement organizations as well as transnational donors and research institutes. Yet, even as state programs are constituted through struggles over resources and representations within and outside the official agencies of the state, states also derive legitimacy from projecting themselves as cohesive rather than disaggregated, and as autonomous from society rather than anchored within it (Abrams 1988; Mitchell 1991b; Mitchell 1999; A. Gupta 2012). The representation of state programs as cohesive, pre-constituted, exportable “models” serves as a new way of consolidating state legitimacy within a global, hierarchical order of development “success.” However, this dissertation argues that the traveling policies disseminated through transnational expert communities are a selective codification of hard-fought struggles among institutions within the state, between the state and organizations, among organizations, and among groups within organizations over the aims and strategies of social policies and programs. These struggles shape what travels in traveling policies and what is left out. Drawing on over 150 in-depth interviews and a year of participant observation with sex workers involved in implementing policy in community-based organizations, NGOs, and activist groups, I show how the material and social conditions of men, women, and transgender women in sex work, mediated through community-based organizations, constituted the successful approaches to HIV prevention that were later, sometimes selectively, translated around the world. 1 Table of Contents List of Terms

THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME The name Waxing Poetic embodies life’s voyage. While the words ‘waxing poetic’ mean ‘speaking in a flowery or poetic fashion,’ we look at the individual words and are reminded that ‘waxing’ means ‘to become, to evolve into something else’ and ‘poetic’ means… just that, and everything related. GROWING UP PagLIEI: EVER-TIED SISTERS Patti and Lizanne are the two youngest daughters of a boisterous, close-knit Italian- American family from the Philadelphia/New Jersey area. Their childhood home was an environment rich with love, faith, iconography, and storytelling, where myths and fables played as much of a part in their development as morals and a quest for meaning. Patti and Lizanne were blessed with a tremendously supportive mother, Rita, who encouraged her girls to be tenacious and take risks, while also stressing the importance of keeping faith: in themselves, in each other, in love, and in possibilities. They took different paths when they left home, but their hearts were tied. 2 ABOUT OUR FOUNDER: During this vibrant period, she apprenticed with PATTI PAGLIEI-SIMPSON various artists and designers, and soon began a long stint designing sets for music videos and film, While honing skills as a painter to achieve her BFA which led to story editing, producing, and then, at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers building and designing websites for a gleaming new University, Patti also fell in love with several phenomenon known as the internet.

    GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES CENTRAL GROUND WATER BOARD GROUND WATER INFORMATION BOOKLET BANGALORE URBAN DISTRICT, KARNATAKA SOUTH WESTERN REGION BANGALORE DECEMBER1 2008 FOREWORD Ground water contributes to about eighty percent of the drinking water requirements in the rural areas, fifty percent of the urban water requirements and more than fifty percent of the irrigation requirements of the nation. Central Ground Water Board has decided to bring out district level ground water information booklets highlighting the ground water scenario, its resource potential, quality aspects, recharge – discharge relationship, etc., for all the districts of the country. As part of this, Central Ground Water Board, South Western Region, Bangalore, is preparing such booklets for all the 27 districts of Karnataka state, of which six of the districts fall under farmers’ distress category. The Bangalore urban district Ground Water Information Booklet has been prepared based on the information available and data collected from various state and central government organisations by several hydro-scientists of Central Ground Water Board with utmost care and dedication. This booklet has been prepared by Smt. Veena R Achutha , Assistant geophysicist, under the guidance of Dr. K.Md. Najeeb, Superintending Hydrogeologist, Central Ground Water Board, South Western Region, Bangalore. The figures were prepared by S/Sri. H.P.Jayaprakash, Scientist-C and K.Rajarajan, Assistant Hydrogeologist. The efforts of Report processing section in finalising and bringing out the report in this format are commendable. I take this opportunity to congratulate them for the diligent and careful compilation and observation in the form of this booklet, which will certainly serve as a guiding document for further work and help the planners, administrators, hydrogeologists and engineers to plan the water resources management in a better way in the district.
