Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Social life in Ocongate, a small town in the Southern Peruvian Andes, is marked by heavy drinking'. In this paper, [the author] will be exploring how the people in this village think about drinking, and examining their own notions of use and abuse. For the outside observer, drunken behaviour appears superficially to offer a few cross-cultural similarities. In many cultures, drunkenness can be said to be associated with the breakdown or redefinition of social convention. The drinking of alcohol is widely reported to lead to increased sociability, as conventions of appropriate behaviour are more flexibly interpreted, and as drinkers' perceptions of their own practical competence increases'. People dare to do, say and even think things when drunk that take them beyond the norms of their own sober interaction. It is this aspect of drunkenness that can also generate conflict and social disorder. (Extract of the publication)
