Abstract

This article builds on fieldwork conducted during lockdown in Denmark among users of services at the intersection of homelessness and drug use. The paper bridges two distinct approaches to understanding the relation between marginalization and crisis, with one focused on the impact of "big events" on marginalized populations, and another on everyday strategies employed to survive situations of homelessness and drug use. The paper shows how past experiences of hardship became relevant for coping with pandemic crisis. It further exploreshow, through critical engagement with dominant accounts of vulnerability, research participants carved out a space for negotiating their marginality in the Danish welfare state.

“更关心丹麦先生和夫人”：在无家可归和吸毒的交叉点应对流行病危机。

这篇文章建立在丹麦封锁期间对无家可归和吸毒交叉点的服务使用者进行的实地调查的基础上。该文件为理解边缘化和危机之间的关系提供了两种不同的方法，一种方法侧重于“重大事件”对边缘化人群的影响，另一种方法则侧重于为应对无家可归和吸毒情况而采取的日常策略。这篇论文展示了过去的苦难经历如何与应对疫情危机相关。它进一步探索了研究参与者如何通过批判性地参与对脆弱性的主要描述，为他们在丹麦福利国家中的边缘地位谈判开辟了空间。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
