在这篇文章中，我提供了一个新的概念的情况下，通过描绘的情况命名为毒品战争和政治，已经出现了出来，我探讨了我从反毒品战争运动中学到的，他们认为自己解决，他们如何解决它，以及他们的组织方式可能会帮助人类学家重新思考自己的研究对象。我希望表明，情境的概念显着增加了人类学知识，因为它使我们能够将广泛分布在不同全球范围内的事物视为不可总计的集合，但其偶尔和临时的局部表现形式使我们能够理解地理上、社会经济上、和文化上的分布陷入了这种情况下出现的共同条件。此外，这一概念是为了回应人类学内外最近的关注，即在分析和参与我们研究的世界时必须进行新的和创造性的尝试。我认为，通过与我们研究的世界中隐藏的潜力相协调，并创造性地和投机性地将这种潜力概念化，我们可以提供独特的人类学贡献，并参与社会和政治项目。[情况;政治;政治本体论;成为;全球性的;民族志;致谢本文的研究和写作得到了荷兰科学研究组织和欧洲研究理事会的赠款。衷心感谢西尔维亚·蒂迪阅读了本文的几个实例，并推荐了民族志的概念。如果没有他的贡献，这篇文章就不会存在。我还要感谢匿名审稿人的评论，以及编辑在整个修订过程中提供的支持和不可或缺的指导。1.我使用激动剂而不是活动家一词来强调那些与毒品战争作斗争的人的政治斗争的斗争性质。2.因为他因在温哥华的政治活动而闻名于地球仪，我用的是巴德奥斯本的真实的名字。所有其他名字都是同义词。3.见量刑项目网站，www.sentencingproject.org。什么是情况？
In this essay, I offer a new conception of situation through a delineation of the situation named the drug war and the politics that have emerged out of it. I explore how what I have learned from the anti–drug war movement in terms of what they see themselves addressing, how they address it, and how their manner of organization may help anthropologists rethink their own objects of study. I hope to show that the concept of situation significantly adds to anthropological knowledge because it allows us to consider that which is widely diffused across different global scales as a nontotalizable assemblage, but yet in its occasional and temporary local manifestation allows us to understand how persons and objects that are geographically, socioeconomically, and culturally distributed get caught up in the shared conditions that emerge from the situation. Furthermore, this conception is offered in response to recent concerns within and beyond anthropology that new and creative attempts must be made in the analysis of and engagement with the worlds we study. I argue that by being attuned to hidden potential in the worlds we research, and creatively and speculatively conceptualizing such potential, we can offer a uniquely anthropological contribution and engagement in social and political projects of becoming otherwise.

A heartfelt thanks goes out to Sylvia Tidey for having read several instantiations of this article, and for recommending the concept of assemblic ethnography. This article would not exist without her significant contribution. I also thank the anonymous reviewers for their comments, and the editors for their supportive and indispensable guidance through the revision process. 1. I use the term agonist instead of activist to emphasize the agonistic nature of the political struggle of those fighting against the drug war. 2. Because he is known around the globe for his political activity in Vancouver, I am using Bud Osborn’s real name. All other names are pseudonyms. 3.
