Description

This Routledge academic text examines how substance use, urban geography, and personal identity interweave within contemporary cities. The book presents an interdisciplinary exploration of addiction as a phenomenon intrinsic to modern life, arguing that both the individual body and the collective urban environment are shaped by controlled substances. Structured in two sections, Drug/Culture and Dope/Sick, it first demonstrates how addiction marks both the addict's body and the city's social fabric, then critiques conventional pathology-based models of addiction. Instead, it proposes alternative frameworks for understanding addiction within late-capitalist urban landscapes, challenging readers to reconsider addiction not as individual pathology but as a condition deeply rooted in place and contemporary society.

Key Features

Interdisciplinary analysis connecting drug use, urban space, and personal identity within modern cities.

Two-part structure examining Drug/Culture dynamics followed by critical Dope/Sick pathology critiques.

Challenges conventional addiction models by contextualising substance use within late-capitalist urban environments.
