3rd Reading Group Meeting: 7pm Tuesday 12th February, 317, 43 Gordon Square
Reading: Alexandra Bogren, 'Women's intoxication as 'dual licentiousness': An exploration of gendered images of drinking and intoxication in Sweden'. Addiction Research and Theory, 16.1: 95-106.
Email me (bigs.postgrads@googlemail.com) if you would like a Pdf of the article.
Some things to think about:
- Does everyone desire to transcend reality? Is this a need?
- Some examples of different gendered responses to alcohol/drug consumption. Why and where do these occur?
- What is meant by 'dual licentiousness'? Does Bogren's concept provide us with a useful critical tool to approach this problem?
- Is it possible to apply Bogren's analysis beyond Sweden?
