Résumé
A Disease in the Public Realm: AIDS in Six French Daily Newspapers. Since its irruption in 1981, AIDS has represented more than just a new pathology. It has shown us how big a role a disease can play in the "public space", brilliantly highlighting the relationships among the biological, political and social realms. This new reality has been built up by ongoing scientific developments and, virtually simultaneously, by public opinion: it was the press which brought AIDS into existence for the whole of society. We study here the construction of the "AIDS social phenomenon" using articles published in six French nationwide daily newspapers from January 1982 to July 1986, isolating the different stages and mechanisms involved.
