Reliving it All Over Again: Uncanny Temporalities of Injection Drug Use and Hepatitis C Diagnosis in Southwest Virginia, USA
Clinicians typically view the intersection between hepatitis C and injection drug use in terms of simultaneity - with transmission occurring via shared needles - or sequentially - with some states requiring that people stop using drugs prior to treatment. Yet, for patients, the connection between substance use and HCV infection can follow a more complex temporal pathway. In this article, we explore the non-linear temporality of "reliving" as it s…
Substance use policy and practice in the Covid-19 pandemic: Learning from early pandemic responses through internationally comparative field data
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented natural experiment in drug policy, treatment delivery, and harm reduction strategies by exposing wide variation in public health infrastructures and social safety nets around the world. Using qualitative data including ethnographic methods, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with people who use drugs (PWUD) and Delphi-method with experts from field sites spanning 13 different countrie…
Keeping it in the family: The moral economy of Suboxone in southwest Virginia
Opioid agonist medications, such as the buprenorphine-based Suboxone, are becoming increasingly important tools for caring for people with opioid use disorders. Yet, whether at the level of the family, the clinic, or pharmaceutical companies, the circulation of Suboxone can involve forms of concealment, secrecy, and deceit, even as it is used to provide a vital form of care. In exploring the moral economies that shape the licit and illicit circul…

Not Enough: Killing Time in London's Itchy Park
This article investigates the ways in which psychoactive substances, boredom, temporality, and biopolitical forces intersect to constitute the situation of homeless addiction in inner-city London. It argues that the temporal scales intrinsic to this situation can be conceptualised as an immanent field of sociopolitical, economic, and moral relations that are constituted above all by precarity. Inseparably bound up within these precarious fields a…
Addiction
What is addiction? As an umbrella term, addiction is often used to describe activities where there is an overwhelming drive to engage in destructive, distressing or compulsive behavioural patterns, including not just drug-taking and drinking, but gambling, eating, sex, video gaming, and even shopping. Whilst all these activities have generated rich fields of inquiry across the social science disciplines, this entry focuses primarily on the changi…
Nobodies and somebodies: Power, bureaucracy, and citizenship in a London rehousing hub
This article draws on ethnographic research to examine the bureaucratic matrix of temporal, material, and legal scales that come together to constitute the rehousing process for a group of rough sleepers seeking passage out of homelessness in contemporary London. Further, it explores the ways in which different bureaucratic technologies mediate the relations between the rehousing hub's staff, its homeless clients, and local housing authorities, p…
Remembering to Forget: Blacking Out in Itchy Park
This article draws on ethnographic research to examine the relationship between anaesthetic intoxicants, memory, forgetting, and subjectivity among homeless addicts in inner-city London. This article explores memory as a conduit to the ghostly forces that entrap the homeless, faced with losses that are at once intimate and structural, in a kind of existential crisis-a crisis that is solved through dissociative journeys into the drug-induced black…
