    Abstract

    This article offers a methodological framework for eliciting and reading narratives of, what Sara Ahmed has termed, disorientation. Drawing on the findings from a project on lesbian and queer women’s orientation toward HIV objects, knowledges, and subject positions in Australia, it concludes with a reflection on gathering “difficult” or “reluctant” narratives.
