Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper is an ethnographic study of waged workers drinking in public spaces in urban Delhi. It focused on drinking practices among waged workers in the parking space of a market. The distinguishable feature of drinking in public spaces among waged workers was the use of tactics to evade police or consume alcohol uncaught. Sustaining participation in such leisure activities in public spaces leads to a social world of drinkers among waged workers where professional bonds are forged, friendships are made, and networks of contacts are extended among the workers. This paper suggests that such legislation on drinking in public spaces could (re)consider the practice of drinking in moderation that maintains public propriety in the policymaking process rather than synonymizing it with impropriety.KEYWORDS: Drinkingpublic spacesocial worldwaged workersView correction statement:Correction Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe research was funded by the University Grant Commission (UGC), Government of India through Junior Research Fellowship.
饮酒者的社会世界:对德里城市领薪工人饮酒的研究
摘要本文是对在德里城市公共场所饮酒的受薪工人的民族志研究。它的重点是在市场的停车位上的受薪工人的饮酒习惯。受薪工人在公共场所饮酒的显著特点是,他们会利用各种手段逃避警察或在不被抓到的情况下饮酒。在公共场所持续参与这样的休闲活动,会让领薪水的工人形成一个喝酒的社会世界,在这里,职业纽带得以建立,友谊得以建立,联系网络得以扩展。本文建议,此类关于在公共场所饮酒的立法可以(重新)考虑适度饮酒的做法,以在政策制定过程中维护公共礼仪,而不是将其与不当行为等同起来。关键词:饮酒、公共空间、社会世界、有偿劳动者查看更正声明更正披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。本研究由印度政府大学教育资助委员会(教资会)透过青年研究金资助。
