THE GENERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF STEREOTYPE OF THE CONSUMER OF ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES: AN EXEMPLIFICATION THROUGH A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF
DISCURSIVE PRACTICES THAT CHARACTERIZE THE ITALIAN AND THE DUTCH TEXT OF THE LAW
Roberto Fumagalli e Simona Fanelli Department of psychology – University of Padua, Italia • E-mail: [email protected]
Theoretical frame of reference The theoretical framework of the research is the narrativistic paradigm that defines reality as generated by discursive
practices used in a specific socio-cultural context and then continuously in transformation. In this sense the consumer of psychoactive substances is considered as an existing reality generated by speeches that a certain socio-cultural structure makes available in a particular historical moment. This research is based on the theory of the dialogical identity, or the identity is built from the dialogue of three polarity of narration, (look at the figure). Through this theory how the different
voices involved in the research generate and maintain the stereotype of consumer of psychoactive substances have been investigated.
Aim of research To investigate how the stereotype of illegal substances consumers is generated and maintained in
two different countries (Italy and Netherlands)This, analyzing both discursive practices of who are differently involved in the generation of that
reality, and through the textual analysis of those laws who are addressed to the consumption of
substances.

CONCLUSIONWith reference to the construction and maintenance of the stereotype of consumer substances results that:1 There is an equivalance between the regulatory speech and the discourse of the community because both use the same constructs to define the consumer. This lead to affirm that there is a mutual interchange between what the laws declare and what common sense speech says in the finding common factors.2 there is a difference between the construction of the stereotype between Italy and the Netherlands: the first uses connotative knowledge modalities more than the Netherlands. From the result of this analysis is possible to conclude that when you put in place interventions towards consumers of substances it is not possible to abstract from what is the discursive configuration that generates and maintains the stereotype of the consumer of substances in communities. Any intervention must therefore necessarily takes account of how the identity of the consumer is built to go to intervene on the focus in which this process develops.
