TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - She got herself there: narrative resistance in the drug discourse of strippers JO - Deviant behavior A1 - Lavin, Melissa F. SP - 294 EP - 305 VL - 38 IS - 3 N2 - There has been ample literature on strip clubs regarding interactions between strippers and patrons, power and social control, and how dancers manage their identities as stigmatized workers. Few studies have explored how dancers grapple with their doubly deviant identities as dancers and as drug and alcohol users. Through interviews and fieldwork, I explore how dancers frame their drug use. At times, dancers stigmatize other dancers by using damaging stereotypes to "other" sister workers for drug abuse. At other times, strippers do not malign other dancers for drug and alcohol use. Instrumental or recreational drug use is relatively unstigmatized.
