Description: Cultural Ecstasies : Drugs, Gender and the Social Imaginary, Hardcover by Mountian, Ilana, ISBN 0415583837, ISBN-13 9780415583831, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK This slim text takes a critical psychological and deconstructionist approach to the intersecting discourses of drug-use/abuse and gender, but also race, sexuality, class and age. After the introduction, Mountain (discourse, Manchester Metropolitan U., UK) sets up her conceptual framework, borrowing from both Foucauldian critiques of otherness and Lacanian understandings of the symbolic order and social imaginary, as well as queer-studies, post-colonial studies and feminist research. She historicizes social meanings of drugs, critically analyzes current definitions of drugs and addictions, surveys images of the drug-user, focuses on discourses surrounding female drug-users, analyzes of the association between women and drugs, and considers the impact of the social imaginary on drug policies.
