Género y usos de drogas: dimensiones de análisis e intersección con otros ejes de desigualdad (Gender and drugs uses: dimensions of analysis and intersection with other inequality axis)
Year: 2012
Type: preprint
Abstract: This paper proposes to articulate an analytical scheme for understanding the use of drugs in advanced societies from the gender perspective and its intersections with other inequality axis such as age, social class, race and ethnicity. These dimensions define not only the access to different substances –in terms of normative and resources- but also the different uses and their social valuation. For this purpose, we expose the main gender dimensions as an analytical category: structural, symbolic and individual. Furthermore, we intend to broaden this view exploring the intra-inter gender differences and inequalities present in the various uses of drugs from an intersectional framework. Our aim is to break with standardised categories in order to project a multidimensional analysis, from which to reflect in how other imbricated differences with gender make possible for women and men to use certain substances, conditioning their social effects.
