Negotiating Motherhood: Variations of Maternal Identities among Women in the Illegal Drug Economy
基于对挪威非法硬毒品经济中女性使用者与贩售者的访谈，分析四种母亲身份（悲伤母亲、疏离母亲、母性贩售者、工作母亲），揭示怀孕时机、与孩子相处时间、毒品使用控制及市场层级如何影响身份变异。
This study examines negotiations of motherhood among women in the illegal hard drug economy in Norway. Based on interviews with mothers who are users and dealers, this study analyzes four predominant maternal identities: grieving mothers, detached mothers, motherly dealers, and working mothers. Particularly relevant factors explaining variations in maternal identities include the timing of pregnancy, time spent with children, control over drug use, and place in the drug market hierarchy. By revealing patterns of intra-group variations by gender performances and work situation, the study expands upon previous work on how mothers who are structurally disadvantaged negotiate motherhood ideals.
