Beyond moralising, disciplining and normalising discourses: Re-thinking geographies of alcohol, drinking, drunkenness

Mark Jayne et al.

Summary: Despite progress, geographies of alcohol lack theory and research. Geographers tend to reproduce moralizing discourses instead of questioning them. To engage more critically, we propose three research trajectories: relational ontologies, de-determination of (non)human relations, and ethical/political imperatives. We recommend challenging dominant debates, exploring diverse knowledges/practices, and examining relational time/spaces beyond alcohol consumption. Reflecting on the challenges and opportunities, we suggest rethinking geographies of alcohol within and beyond the discipline.

yulong-hunza-fish and dragons (bad and good people) mixing together: young people, urban life and alcohol, drinking, drunkenness in China

Mark Jayne et al.

Summary: This paper explores the ambivalence towards strangers, avoidance of social mixing, and sensitivity to integrational socio-spatial relations as key factors in understanding the lives of young people in China. The research compares discussions by Chinese scholars on public/private relations with international literature on encounter and friendship, providing new directions for the comparative study of alcohol-related issues in different cultural contexts.
