Résumé L'usage d'alcool et de drogues parmi les jeunes de certains pays du Nord de l'Europe a changé d'une manière significative depuis le début des années 1990. Certains signes indiquent un usage de drogues croissant, tandis que l'usage d'alcool s'est focalisé particulièrement sur l'ivresse. Plusieurs chercheurs sont d'avis qu'une nouvelle culture de la « défonce » est en train de se produire ; une culture qui vise des changements de conscience intenses et spectaculaires. Un développement semblable est peut-être en train de se produire en France et dans d'autres pays du Sud de l'Europe. À partir d'un rapprochement phénoménologique, cet article décrit quelques-uns des éléments les plus caractéristiques de la nouvelle culture de la défonce se produisant parmi les jeunes du Danemark. L'article s'appuie sur une recherche du terrain parmi des jeunes touristes danois dans une destination touristique estivale. L'auteur et quatre assistants ont recueilli les données pendant les étés 2007 et 2008 en utilisant des méthodes diverses comme interviews, observations et questionnaires.

Research on the new crime-terror nexus has focused on examining the confluences of criminal and jihadist milieus. This article contributes to this research, using insights from criminological theory and analyzing data from interviews with Muslim men who have been exposed to jihadism and have a background in street life and crime. We propose that the connection between street crime and jihadism can be seen in three decisive points of confluence: places, bodies, and narratives. We show how specific places (e.g. prisons) enable the encounter between particular bodies (e.g. violently competent bodies) and the engagement or disengagement with certain extremist narratives (e.g. stories of redemption through violence). The crime-terror literature emphasizes that these points of confluence are sources of radicalization. We expand upon this by arguing that they may also serve as venues for resisting or rejecting politico-religious extremism. The study demonstrates that radicalization is only one possible outcome of the confluences between street culture and jihadism. ; This work was partly funded by the Research Council of Norway, grant 259541. ; publishedVersion
