本文有助于文化理论化的规管偏差形式的思想和行为，通过分析科学的帐户，和方法，管理“行为成瘾”。许多文化分析认为，成瘾的生物医学表述只是为社会控制形式提供了一个科学的门面，因此，这种表述不值得认真考虑。我认为，通过仔细考虑和参与当代成瘾医学，可以加强对社会变革和社会监管过程的批判性研究;并通过研究一些对人、情感和行为的新描述--以及对个人、情感和行为采取行动的新手段--来提供这种方法的一个例子，这些新描述已经开始出现在理论中，将行为成瘾定义为脑部疾病的疗法和科普表述。虽然认识到一些生物医学索赔的有效性-例如，有生理成分的行为强迫症，有效的成瘾治疗可能会对患者的身体起作用-我反对将行为强迫症概念化为疾病，并反对将这种强迫症的治疗干预概念化为“治疗”。相反，我提出的情况下，根据生物医学话语本身，它是更准确地描述成瘾干预-这是用来生产更好的公民，而不是治愈生物疾病-作为“文明技术”。
This article contributes to cultural theorizations of the regulation of deviant forms of thought and behaviour through an analysis of scientific accounts of, and approaches to, managing ‘behavioural addictions’. Much cultural analysis assumes that biomedical formulations of addiction simply provide a scientific façade for forms of social control, and hence, that such formulations are unworthy of serious consideration. I argue that critical inquiries into processes of social change and social regulation could be strengthened by carefully considering, and engaging with, contemporary addiction medicine; and provide an example of such an approach by examining some of the new descriptions of people, emotions and behaviours – as well as new means of acting on individuals, feelings and conduct – that have begun to emerge within theories, therapies and popular science representations that frame behavioural addictions as brain diseases. Although recognizing the validity of some biomedical claims – for example, that there are physiological components to behavioural compulsions, and that effective addiction therapies may act on the bodies of patients – I argue against conceptualizing behavioural compulsions as diseases, and against conceptualizing therapeutic interventions for such compulsions as ‘treatments’. Instead, I make the case that, according to biomedical discourses themselves, it is more accurate to describe addiction interventions – which are used to produce better citizens, rather than to cure biological diseases – as ‘civilizing technologies’.
