The article provides an ethnographic study of the lives of the 'dangerous class' of drug users based on fieldwork carried out among different drug using 'communities' in Tehran between 2012 and 2016. The primary objective is to articulate the presence of this category within modern Iran, its uses and its abuses in relation to the political. What drives the narration is not only the account of this lumpen, plebeian group vis á vis the state, but also the way power has affected their agency, their capacity to be present in the city, and how capital/power and the dangerous/lumpen life come to terms, to conflict, and to the production of new situations which affect urban life.
本文基于2012年至2016年间在德黑兰不同吸毒“群体”中开展的实地调查，对吸毒“危险群体”的生活进行了人种志研究。主要目的是阐明这一群体在现代伊朗的存在情况，以及其在政治方面的用途和滥用情况。推动叙述的不仅是这个流氓无产阶级、平民群体相对于国家的情况，还有权力影响他们的能动性、他们在城市中立足的能力的方式，以及资本/权力与危险/流氓无产阶级生活如何达成妥协、产生冲突，进而形成影响城市生活的新情况。
