Description

Since 1981, AIDS has had a massive impact on the popular imagination. This volume from Routledge examines how the mass media, specifically news outlets, worked to make sense of the disease. It looks at the fear, loathing, and prejudice that have surrounded those who develop the condition throughout this century. By using an interdisciplinary approach, this book combines cultural studies, the history of medicine, and contemporary social theory. It analyzes the major themes that have dominated news coverage, including the "gay-plague" narratives of the early 1980s and the panic-stricken visions that shaped public perception. This text provides a deep look into how media reporting influences social views on health and disease.
