The first section - Drug/Culture - demonstrates how the body of the addict and the social body of the city are both inscribed by 'controlled' substance. Positing addiction as a 'pathology (out) of place' that is specific to the (late-)capitalist urban landscape, the second section - Dope/Sick - conducts a critique of the prevailing pathology paradigm of addiction, proposing in its place a theoretical reconceptualization of drug dependence in the terms of 'p/re/in-scription.' Remapping the successive stages or phases of our narcotic modernity, the third section - Narco/State - delineates three primary eras of narcotic modernity, including the contemporary city of 'safe'/'supervised' consumption.
