> CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE SPECIAL ISSUE:
>
> To be confident, attractive and happy: Ethnographies of drug use among
> urban youths in Asia
>
> Guest editors: Anita Hardon and David Hymans
>
> We seek contributions that present ethnographic insights on how urban
> youths in Asia use a broad range of illicit narcotics as well as
> (off-label) pharmaceuticals and cosmetic chemicals to achieve their
> desired mental and bodily states in daily life. Our premise is that to
> understand drug use (thus broadly construed) among youths, we need to
> examine the purposes for which drugs are used in their own terms.
>
> We are especially interested in contributions that give central importance
> to the social relations surrounding drug use, including how knowledge of
> specific substances travels through youth networks, the internet, the
> creative marketing of novel drugs, and from the prescribing practices of
> medical professionals. Ethnographic questions to be addressed in the
> papers include: Why do youths turn to drugs? What effects are they
> seeking? What role do drugs play in calming their fears, in achieving
> their dreams and aspirations, in shaping their bodies? Which drugs do they
> use on a daily basis? Where and in what social context? Which drugs or
> combinations of drugs do youths experiment with? What desired or adverse
> effects do they experience? What (if any) social transformations ensue
> through their use? How are the drugs administered? Are they mixed with
> other substances? Where do youths get information on (new) drugs, and on
> their (adverse) effects? How is chemical use related to their working
> lives? How are drug-use practices embedded in and conditioned by
> ever-changing urban youth cultures, local drug markets, health care
> institutions and policies, and by state and police interventions that
> constrain availability and use in various ways?
>
> Abstracts (not to exceed 350 words) are invited for contributions to this
> forthcoming special issue of the International Journal of Drug Policy
> (
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-drug-policy).
> We invite three types of contributions (3,000-6,000 words):
>
> Research papers: based on original ethnographic research conducted in
> Asia.
>
> Methods papers: presenting innovations in ethnographic methods to study
> drug use among youths (such as visual and virtual ethnography).
>
> Analyses of youth drug use policies and programs in Asia: a critical
> review of policies and programs that aim to change drug use practices
> among youth in order to reduce harm and protect their health. We welcome
> both contemporary and historical analyses.
>
> Abstracts should be emailed to
m.derooij@uva.nl and
a.p.hardon@uva.nl by
