本文将美沙酮维持治疗视为一种时空现象,是一套“内部主动”运作的实践和安排,以响应和激发某些被理解为“美沙酮客户”的主体。为此,本文利用澳大利亚关于美沙酮用药日常经验的采访数据,从两组理论概念的角度来审视美沙酮维持治疗:米哈伊尔·巴赫金的时空位;以及凯伦·巴拉德 (Karen Barad) 的时空流形和她所谓的迭代内活动的表述。该论文认为,在美沙酮给药点的背景下,时间和空间共同产生了队列的时表,并且这种时表有助于具体化特定的美沙酮受试者。通常,这些都是被认为不受欢迎的主题。也就是说,“低效”、“无序”、“非法”。有鉴于此,本文提出疑问,诊所的要求及其排队惯例是否会重现而不是偏离等待和依赖的模式,这种模式被广泛视为与经常使用海洛因相关的生活方式的特征。总之,本文考虑了时位及其在美沙酮维持治疗中的作用的政策和实践影响。 Crown 版权所有 (c) 2006 由 Elsevier B.V 出版 保留所有权利。
This paper considers methadone maintenance treatment as a temporal and spatial phenomenon, a set of practices and arrangements that operate 'intra-actively' in response to, and in provocation of, certain kinds of subjects understood as 'methadone clients'. In doing so, the paper uses Australian interview data on everyday experiences of methadone dosing to look at methadone maintenance treatment in terms of two sets of theoretical concepts: Mikhail Bakhtin's chronotope; and Karen Barad's formulations of the space-time manifold and of what she calls iterative intra-activity. The paper argues that in the context of the methadone dosing point, time and space co-produce each other as a chronotope of the queue, and that this chronotope helps materialise particular methadone subjects. Often, these are the very kinds of subjects considered undesirable; that is, the 'unproductive', the 'disorderly', the 'illicit'. In light of this, the paper asks whether the demands of the clinic and its convention of queuing reproduce rather than depart from the model of waiting and dependence widely seen as characteristic of lifestyles associated with regular heroin use. In conclusion, the paper considers the policy and practice implications of the chronotope and of its role in methadone maintenance treatment.
