Produktinformationen zu „Addiction, Modernity, and the City / Routledge Advances in Sociology (ePub)“
Examining the interdependent nature of substance, space, and subjectivity, this book constitutes an interdisciplinary analysis of the intoxication indigenous to what has been termed "e;our narcotic modernity."e; The first section - Drug/Culture - demonstrates how the body of the addict and the social body of the city are both inscribed by "e;controlled"e; substance. Positing addiction as a "e;pathology (out) of place"e; that is specific to the (late-)capitalist urban landscape, the second section - Dope/Sick - conducts a critique of the prevailing pathology paradigm of addiction, proposing in its place a theoretical reconceptualization of drug dependence in the terms of "e;p/re/in-scription."e; Remapping the successive stages or phases of our narcotic modernity, the third section - Narco/State - delineates three primary eras of narcotic modernity, including the contemporary city of "e;safe"e;/"e;supervised"e; consumption. Employing an experimental, "e;intra-textual"e; format, the fourth section - Brain/Disease - mimics the sense, state or scape of intoxication accompanying each permutation of narcotic modernity in the interchangeable terms of drug, dream and/or disease. Tracing the parallel evolution of "e;addiction,"e; the (late-)capitalist cityscape, and the pathological project of modernity, the four parts of this book thus together constitute a users' guide to urban space.
