Drugs, Law Enforcement and Urban Marginalisation in Downtown Barcelona: The Challenges of Harm Reduction Policing
At a time when scholars point to the emergence of a new policing model aimed at mitigating the devastating consequences of drug policing, police violence towards People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) persists. We examine this discrepancy by investigating officers' perceptions of PWUD and how these perceptions shape their routine policing work and the meanings they create around it. We find that officers characterise PWUD as mentally ill and socially exclud…
Mujeres consumidoras de drogas en tratamiento ambulatorio: Estudio cualitativo desde una perspectiva de género y de salud mental comunitaria
Women drug-users face significant challenges in accessing and adhering to outpatient treatment. However, this issue has been underexplored. The study aims to understand the experiences of a group of women undergoing drug use treatment. Between March and December 2021, a qualitative phenomenological interpretative study was carried out through semi-structured interviews with 16 women attending a drug-dependence care center in Catalonia, Spain. Dat…
From the street to the drug consumption room. Injected drug use across consumption environments
Previous studies have reported that injected drug use cannot be understood in a spatiotemporal vacuum but, paradoxically, they have tended to analyze this practice in a single environment instead of examining how people who inject drugs deploy their agency across environments. This ethnographic account describes and analyzes how David, an injected cocaine user, moved from the streets of Barcelona to a drug consumption room By accounting his trans…
Políticas públicas dirigidas a personas consumidoras de drogas: Estrategias para la desestigmatización y la promoción de los derechos humanos
This paper aims to provide theoretically informed practical proposals for the improvement of current drug policies, which are based on a biological model of disease and the criminalization of people who use drugs. First, we present alternatives to a biologically-oriented scientific conception centered around neuroscientific postulates, which support the idea that the etiology of addiction materializes in the brain, in favor of models based on the…
El pájaro está en el nido. Cocaína, cultura y salud. Una etnografía del consumo de cocaína en Reus, de Antoniu Llort Suárez
La etnografía del consumo de drogas fue inaugurada en España a principios de los años ochenta con la tesis doctoral de Oriol Romaní sobre la historia cultural del «hachís» en Barcelona. De esta tesis parte A tumba abierta. Autobiografía de un grifota (Romaní, 2015), obra referente en el estudio de las drogas y el método biográfico. Desde entonces, la senda de las etnografías sobre drogas se ha extendido hasta la actualidad siguiendo las tendencia…
La gestión de placeres y daños: Estudio etnográfico sobre el consumo de drogas en vía pública, viviendas y salas de consumo higiénico
Drug consumption rooms (DCR) aim to facilitate consumption in hygienic and safe conditions. However, users also consume drugs in public spaces and homes generating incremental risk for health. To strengthen our understanding of consumption practices, we conducted an ethnographic study in different consumption locations in Barcelona, including DCRs, public spaces, and homes. Focusing on consumption practices and narratives, we conducted participan…
