Troubling the angels

the long version

Lather & Smithies use different layers or sources of data: including information about HIV/AIDS, researcher reflections, women’s stories and angel inter texts to explore the lives of women living with HIV / AIDS in America. The angel inter texts they suggest provide a detour and are “intended both as a breathing space from the women’s stories and a place to bring snapshots from poetry, fiction, sociology, history, art and philosophy together to bear on understanding the work of living with HIV/AIDS”
