{"product_id":"addiction-modernity-and-the-city-1","title":"Addiction, Modernity, and the City","description":"\u003cp\u003eExamining the interdependent nature of substance, space, and subjectivity, this book constitutes an interdisciplinary analysis of the intoxication indigenous to what has been termed \"our narcotic modernity.\" The first section – \u003ci\u003eDrug\/Culture\u003c\/i\u003e – demonstrates how the body of the addict and the social body of the city are both inscribed by \"controlled\" substance. Positing addiction as a \"pathology (out) of place\" that is specific to the (late-)capitalist urban landscape, the second section – \u003ci\u003eDope\/Sick\u003c\/i\u003e – conducts a critique of the prevailing pathology paradigm of addiction, proposing in its place a theoretical reconceptualization of drug dependence in the terms of \"\u003ci\u003ep\/re\/in-scription\u003c\/i\u003e.\" Remapping the successive stages or phases of our narcotic modernity, the third section –\u003ci\u003e Narco\/State\u003c\/i\u003e – delineates three primary eras of narcotic modernity, including the contemporary city of \"safe\"\/\"supervised\" consumption. Employing an experimental, \"intra-textual\" format, the fourth section –\u003ci\u003e Brain\/Disease\u003c\/i\u003e – 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 \"addiction,\" the (late-)capitalist cityscape, and the pathological project of modernity, the four parts of this book thus together constitute a \u003ci\u003eusers’ guide to urban space\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247702790488,"sku":"9780367597665","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367597665_2016fd63-c65f-4580-b3e2-ef6b55014736.jpg?v=1769167830","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/addiction-modernity-and-the-city-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
