Disneyization of Drug Use offers an innovative, ground-up
understanding of the atypical patterns of illegal drug use that
often permeate multi-day party zones such as nightlife tourist
resorts and music festivals. Drawing on ethnographic research
conducted over three summers in Ibiza, the book contextualizes the
drug and alcohol-related experiences of tourists and seasonal
workers operating in the island's infamously hedonistic party
spaces. Through an innovative application of Alan Bryman's (2004)
seminal work, The Disneyization of Society, the book argues how the
same marketing principles that generate consumption in the legal
economy of Disney theme parks also drives illicit drug use in Ibiza
and music festivals, where the line between legal and illegal
substances rapidly blurs to the point of collapse. This highly
innovative book offers rich insights into the complex interplay
between drug and alcohol use, agency, pleasure, risk, consumerism,
and social context. It will be of great appeal to academics and
students interested in the fields of cultural criminology, deviant
leisure, drug and alcohol studies, youth culture, and ethnographic
research methods.
