Summary:The intuitive use of the notion of instrumentalization by the authors of this paper in their research on the criminal treatment of drug use lies at the heart of an analysis characterized by a three-way preoccupation: a conceptual preoccupation (defining the notion with emphasis on its dimensions of alteration, of "definalization" & polarization), a (self-) critical preoccupation (questioning the intuitive use of this notion in view of the definition arrived at), & an ethical preoccupation (distinguishing "resource mobilization" & instrumentalization by emphasizing the ethical & "objectivizable" criteria of this distinction & by illuminating the denunciatory dimension of instrumentalization). 40 References.
