The Disposition of AIDS Imagery in "New York Times" Obituaries.
Alali, A. Odasuo
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v29 n4 p273-89 1994
Analysis of 100 AIDS death obituaries indicates imageries reflect much about American society, such as attitudes toward homosexuality, attitudes toward AIDS, and understanding of linkages between sexual practices and AIDS. Analysis suggests construction of AIDS obituaries may be manifestations of sociopolitical structure and a consequence of bias and prejudice about homosexuality. (BF)
