The Validity of Angels: Interpretive and Textual Strategies in Researching the Lives of Women With HIV/AIDS

Patti A. Lather

Ohio State University

This article fleshes out the intelligibility of validity after poststructuralism via an exploration of the instructive complications of a study of women living with HIV/AIDS. Rather than epistemological criteria of truth as correspondence, the article mobilizes categories of validity grounded in the crisis of representation as it sketches ephemeral practices of validity after poststructuralism within the context of a particular inquiry to generate a theory of situated methodology.
