Die Soziologen und das Methadon

Noch was Beklopptes.

Ein Leser macht mich gerade auf diesen Abschnitt in der Wikipedia zur Substitutionsdroge Methadon aufmerksam:

Controversy

Methadone substitution as a treatment of opioid addiction has been criticized in the social sciences for its role in social control of addicts.[83] It is suggested that methadone does not function as much to curb addiction as to redirect it and maintain dependency on authorised channels. Several authors apply a Foucauldian analysis to the widespread prescription of the drug and use in institutions such as prisons, hospitals and rehabilitation centres.[84] Such critique centers on the notion that substance addiction is reframed with a disease model. Thus methadone, which mimics the effects of opioids and renders the addict compliant, is labeled as a “treatment” and so achieves the disciplinary objectives of managing the “undesirables”.[83]

Die „Foucauldian analysis”, um alles auf der Welt zu untersuchen und bewerten, dazu als Erklärung Foucauldian discourse analysis

Foucauldian discourse analysis is a form of discourse analysis, focusing on power relationships in society as expressed through language and practices, and based on the theories of Michel Foucault.

Besides focusing on the meaning of a given discourse, the distinguishing characteristic of this approach is its stress on power relationships. These are expressed through language and behaviour, and the relationship between language and power.[1][2] This form of analysis developed out of Foucault’s genealogical work, where power was linked to the formation of discourse within specific historical periods. Some versions of this method stress the genealogical application of discourse analysis to illustrate how discourse is produced to govern social groups.[3] The method analyses how the social world, expressed through language, is affected by various sources of power.[1] As such, this approach is close to social constructivism, as the researcher tries to understand how our society is being shaped (or constructed) by language, which in turn reflects existing power relationships.[1][2] The analysis attempts to understand how individuals view the world, and studies categorizations, personal and institutional relationships, ideology, and politics.[4

Die kommen von ihren Spinnern, Ideologen, Propheten auch nicht mehr runter. Ein Idiot, und doch laufen sie ihm in Scharen hinterher, weil er ihnen ein billiges Weltmodell gab, das auch für den Dümmsten noch auf alles anwendbar ist, was er nicht versteht. Erinnert mich an Sekten wie Scientology oder Gender, die sich irgendeine Klaps-Story hernehmen und die dann auf alles anwenden.
