摘要

身份理论家认为,个人有意构建并保持一种文化价值的自我意识。尽管这种逻辑对于积极的身份——医生、父母或科学家——是有道理的,但当它被应用于消极或污名化的身份的构建时,比如饮酒者的身份,就会变得有问题。通过采访一个大都市康复社区的16名成员,我重点关注边缘化身份是如何形成的,似乎是无意的。在这样做的过程中,我展示了来自监护人、同龄人和社区成员的压力和负面信息是如何产生持续的痛苦情绪的,这些情绪限制了人们获得文化价值的身份途径,并引导个人走向消费空间。通过每一个失去的社会价值角色,饮酒者的身份变得更加突出,在日常生活中变得更加重要,并成为个人生活体验的核心。也就是说,当这些社会生活的基本成分在其他地方无法获得时,饮酒者的角色就成为了积极情感和归属感的主要来源。更广泛地说,我挑战了几十年来主导干预策略和复苏政策的当前理论假设,并为政策和干预计划提供了考虑因素。

Drinker Identity Development: Shame, Pride, and a Thirst to Belong
Identity theorists assume that individuals intentionally construct and maintain a culturally valued sense of self. Although this logic makes sense for positive identities—doctor, parent, or scientist—it becomes questionable when applied to the construction of negative, or stigmatized, identities, such as that of a drinker. By interviewing 16 members of a metropolitan recovery community, I focus on how marginalized identities form seemingly absent of intention. In doing so, I show how stress and negative messaging from guardians, peers, and community members produce persistent painful emotions that restrict access to culturally valued identity pathways and steer individuals toward spaces of consumption. Through each lost socially valued role, the drinker identity becomes more salient, achieving more importance in daily life and becoming central to individuals’ lived experiences. That is, the drinker role becomes a primary source of positive affect and belongingness when these essential ingredients of social life are unobtainable elsewhere. More broadly, I challenge current theoretical assumptions that dominated intervention strategies and recovery policy for decades and offer considerations for policy and intervention programs.
