Résumé : |
ENGLISH :
By looking at the detail of everyday and special-occasion drinking practices within a Highland community [the author] hopes to illustrate some of the complexities and contradictions which lie beyond and within the various images. My case is not, however, that the detailed practices constitute a separate reality: on the contrary they are shaped and articulated within, and sometimes in turn sustain, those images. Gender plays a key role throughout. [The author 's] intention here is to try to show how drinking is regarded by people actually living in the townships of the Highlands rather than to attempt to construct a general theory about alcohol consumption and abuse in which Highlanders are but one example. In doing this [the author 's] argument is, in part, against some of the simplistic 'alienation' theories which have been put forward to 'explain' why drinking - and in particular 'problem drinking' - occurs. An analysis of alcoholism - or indeed of other 'addictions' - needs to take account of the historically located and socially defined nature of the issues involved. (Extract of the publication) |
