Elsa Vivant Naming the locations of the opioid crisis in Boston: a political issue.

EchoGéo, no. 53
https://journals.openedition.org/echogeo/20001#quotation

This article analyzes the different place names of an open drug scene in Boston, located at the intersection of three neighborhoods with contrasting uses and dynamics. The reactions and demands of residents in these different neighborhoods reveal the power relations in the urban space, which are analyzed through the choice of place names: Mass & Cass
refers to the urban, colonial, and racial history of the city and prohibition; Methadone Mile
recalls the stigmatization of users and places of care; Recovery Road
expresses the emergence of new practices of care and risk reduction at work in this sector. Entering this scene through its names allows us to unravel the complexity of the ongoing opioid crisis in the US, its political stakes, and the shifts it is causing in drug policy.

Title: The entrance to the Engagement Center

A few wooden tables in front of the entrance to the marquee form a terrace surrounded by portable construction site toilets.

In collaboration with Cécile Guillaume, Jean-Michel Denis contributed to the writing of this article in La Nouvelle revue du Travail, No. 20, 2020.

Driven by the demands of their members, legalization, and the judicialization of social relations, unions have embarked on a process of internalizing the law, particularly in the form of internal legal services. The legal professionals who work there operate in organizations dominated by forms of political and partisan rationality that can conflict with the professional logic they represent. This article examines the conditions under which they practice their profession, caught between expert knowledge and militant logic, and questions the hybrid professionalization process they have managed to build.
