%X this article proposes a confrontation between two visions about the addict: the one that is conveyed by the stereotypical £¿hooked£¿ user, and the phenomenological one, proposed here from the ethnographic access to his experience. we begin by characterizing two types of thinking: the objectified and the constructivist, as ways to look at reality and explaining it, discussing the differences and similarities between common sense and science. then we make a brief characterization of the concept of stereotype, in order to establish a theoretical framework for the exercise that will occupy the rest of the article. this exercise examines certain dimensions like the relationship between the figure of the £¿hooked£¿ and the context of social exclusion, the notion of temporality or the ability/inability to achieve abstinence. our conclusion is that we must not correct the stereotype of the £¿hooked£¿ in the context of a more rigorous science, but, instead, to demonstrate how, between the two, there is a mutual feedback. the language we speak when adressing drug issues is the product fo a social constructrion in which we highlight the roles of common sense, the media and science, particularly the one that fits its production in the medico-psychological realm.
