I performed 14 person-centered ethnographies with methamphetamine-using HIV-positive men who have sex with men in San Diego, California, who were all subjects of the "anti-meth apparatus," a collection of government and nongovernment organizations focused on meth use and its sequelae. The apparatus attempts to coerce addicts to develop and perform certain identities and emotions, though addicts are capable of both passive acceptance and active disruption. In my research, those who failed to become the apparatus's ideal subject felt shame, while those who succeeded expressed pride. Those hovering in the middle experienced a perpetual struggle to become normal and rarely, if ever, succeeded. [addiction, HIV/AIDS, subjectivity].
我对加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥与男性发生性行为的感染艾滋病毒且使用甲基苯丙胺的男性进行了14次以人为本的人种志研究，他们都是“反甲基苯丙胺机构”的对象，该机构由政府和非政府组织组成，专注于甲基苯丙胺的使用及其后果。该机构试图胁迫成瘾者形成并表现出特定的身份和情感，尽管成瘾者既能被动接受，也能积极反抗。在我的研究中，那些未能成为该机构理想对象的人感到羞耻，而那些成功的人则表现出自豪。处于中间状态的人经历着为变得正常而进行的持续斗争，而且很少（如果有的话）成功。[成瘾、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、主体性]
