Drawing on an ethnographic study in Sweden, it uses cultural studies and queer phenomenology to analyse the women’s narratives of drug use relating to themes that encompass social, legal, cultural, embodied and gendered perspectives on drugs in the contemporary Western world. It examines topics such as stigma, happiness, children, the body, gifts, the drug market, medication, sickness and health and also the orientation of themselves towards others, to social and cultural norms, to drug laws and to the substances. It discusses how drug related spaces and directions be analysed in terms of gender and class, and how, in turn, the directions of contemporary society and culture can be affected by drug use. It speaks to academics in Sociology, Criminology, Ethnology, Gender studies, Law and History. 2024-01-15T16:46:20Z 2024-01-15T16:46:20Z 2024 book ONIX_20240115_9783031460579_43 9783031460579 9783031460562 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/86931 eng application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-46057-9.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-46057-9 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-3-031-46057-9 10.1007/978-3-031-46057-9 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 d0e1cd83-8ecb-44a2-bba8-187a50881e77 9783031460579 9783031460562 Palgrave Macmillan 352 Cham [...] Lund University open access
