77/100 Changing Representations of Illicit Drug use, trafficking and addiction portrayed through film and music Distinction Susan Boyd’s Plain and Pleasure (2011) aims to explore the differing representations of drug consumption, trafficking and addiction through film and music from texts stretching between 1920’s to 2010’s, as a means to understand the complexity of such representations within popular culture. Boyd presents views about drugs use and dealing, through texts of film and music. There’s an emphasise on drugs being dangerous and causing violence but also explores the aspects of bringing pleasure. This contradicts Robin Bunton and John Conveney In Pursuit of the Study of Pleasure: Implications for Health Research and Practice as they expounded that representations of drugs varied from culture to culture (2003). Boyd however disagrees with such views, ultimately arguing that the differing representations point more to alternative awareness and drug policies in different cultures (2011, 69).
