Abstract:
How PWUD (people who use drugs) live under drug governance is an important research question. This study adopts a qualitative research method to explore how PWUD in China self-manage after perceiving the dilemma of incomplete citizenship and the social pressure brought by drug control arrangements. Through analysis of 130 PWUD\'s files and in-depth interviews with 10 interviewees (from the 24 preliminary interviews), this study found that PWUD developed action strategies of hidden mobility (spatial isolation), disconnection of past experiences (time isolation), instrumental actions, as well as narrative strategies of reframing themselves as ordinary citizens with attempts of reversing identity disadvantages. Further, PWUD\'s self-management strategies manifest as a disengagement model in which the actors (PWUD, not rehabilitation agencies) do not intend to develop integrative positive identities through dispersed, practiced behavioral strategies, but attempt to return to pre-addiction, non-socially exclusionary citizenship experiences. The disengagement model and its negative effect on PWUD\'s social integration help us reflect on the current implementation of rehabilitation projects and institutional settings of drug governance.
摘要:
PWUD(使用药物的人)如何在药物治理下生活是一个重要的研究问题。本研究采用定性研究方法,探讨中国的PWUD在感知到公民身份不完整的困境和禁毒安排带来的社会压力后如何自我管理。通过对130份PWUD档案的分析和对10名受访者的深入访谈(来自24份初步访谈),这项研究发现,PWUD开发了隐藏移动性(空间隔离)的行动策略,断开过去的经验(时间隔离),工具性行动,以及将自己重塑为普通公民并试图扭转身份劣势的叙事策略。Further,PWUD的自我管理策略表现为一种脱离接触模式,其中参与者(PWUD,不是康复机构)不打算通过分散、实践行为策略,但是试图回到成瘾前,非社会排斥的公民体验。脱离接触模式及其对PWUD社会融合的负面影响有助于我们反思当前康复项目的实施和药物治理的机构设置。
