„To jest taka ciągotka, że po prostu myślisz, co zrobić, żeby się napić”. Antropologiczna refleksja wokół narracji o używaniu i nadużywaniu alkoholu

The aim of this text is to analyse from an anthropological point of view the experience of alcohol use and abuse by drinking people affected by homelessness and “dry” alcoholics. Lukasz Surowiec’s transcription of a performance “Outpatient clinic” published in the latest issue of “Krytyka Polityczna” served as both a source of inspiration and a reference for the analysis. In the project, 20 people living in the street were interviewed. In the paper, the author compares these narrations with autobiographies of other “dry” alcoholics: Wiktor Osiatyński and Mika Dunin.
