Summary:
Angesichts der aktuellen Debatten zur Entkriminalisierung von Drogen ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit Drogenkarten längst überfällig. Narcotic Cities spürt den komplexen Verflechtungen von Drogen, Institutionen, Erfahrungen und ihren räumlichen Repräsentationen nach und wirft so ein neues Licht auf unsere Städte. Durch das Medium grafischer Essays untersucht dieses Buch urbane Erzählungen sowie historische und politische Zusammenhänge, Gemeinschaften, digitale Räume und das mit Drogen verbundene Vergnügen. Es versammelt Beiträge von mehr als 40 Autor*innen, die auf Geoinformationssystemen, Handzeichnungen, Satellitenbildern und Erinnerungen basieren. Dieser Einsatz diverser grafischer Sprachen ergibt ein reichhaltiges Mosaik urbaner, aber auch multiskalarer Perspektiven auf das Thema Drogen, das sowohl wenig bekanntes Wissen als auch Überlegungen zu den Fallstricken, Auslassungen und Misserfolgen von Drogenkartografien enthält.
With debates about the decriminalization of drugs on the rise, an exploration of drug maps is long overdue. Narcotic Cities traces the complex entanglements of drugs, institutions, activities, and the way they are represented with spaces and places, shedding new light on our cities. Through the medium of graphic essays, this book explores urban stories, as well as the histories, policies, communities, digital spaces, and pleasures associated with drugs, gathering together more than forty contributors working with Geographic Information Systems, hand drawings, satellite images, and memories. By experimenting with different graphic languages, this volume assembles a rich mosaic of multi-scalar urban perspectives on drugs, sharing little-known knowledge as well as reflections on the pitfalls, omissions, and failures of drug cartographies.
