The Process of Political "Praxis": Efforts of the Gay Community to Transform the Social Significance of AIDS.
Gilder, Eric
Communication Quarterly, v37 n1 p27-38 Win 1989
Analyzes processes by which gay people see themselves in relation to the social construction of AIDS discourse, both as individuals and as a collective. Uses Foucault's concepts of "subjectification" and "bio-power" to describe self-defining constructs of people with AIDS and to explicate their interactions with the political sphere. (SR)
