They remind us that the trees, hills, fields, and forests are not our property. Fairies remind us to behave with respect. Remembering the fairies is a means of reviving relationship, with the land, with community, and with fairies themselves. Ultimately, this paper argues that reviving the fairy faith offers an opportunity for ethical, ecological relationality. Since fairy belief is embedded in the Irish landscape, this paper considers whether fairy encounters happen in North America, and whether the ecological ethics produced through fairy belief could have effect within the Irish Diaspora. This paper takes up the Fairy Faith as a knowledge system which produces an ecological ethics by prescribing right relationship with land. more The fairy faith in Ireland is a land based spirituality which grows out of a rich oral tradition.

The mental maps of non-normative substance users are superimposed over the dominant map of intoxication culture, revealing that our relationships to Reflecting on my own history of active addiction and current sobriety, from the position of a white settler, I note how two very different mental maps are produced, and how these maps differ from the dominant map of intoxication culture. The dominant maps of intoxication culture have especially harmful consequences for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour substance users. Intoxication culture has its dominant maps which shape space in order to encourage social drinking, and exclude or punish non-normative relationships to substances such as active addiction, specificДЇorms of drug use and sobriety. Intoxication culture is a dominantД¬ulture which produces a particular standard of substance use, social drinking. They can also resist, subvert or undermine the dominant map by creating new meanings and uses of spaces. These mental maps can reinforce the dominant maps by re-inscribing the intended use of space. Superimposed onto these dominant maps are the mental maps of people who use space. These dominant maps attempt to shape and control the way that space is used and who can use it.

These dominant maps attempt to shape and control. Space is designed and mapped in particular ways. The carceral space of psychiatry continues the work of producing compliance even after the patient has left its enclosures, extending the space of the psych ward into the everyday lives of psychiatric survivors. Therefore, successful treatment essentially means submission.

Successful treatment is understood as the reduction or elimination of the very вЂњsymptomsвЂќ which are in reality acts of resistance to violence. The source of the problem is shifted from the original violence and located instead in the body of the traumatized person. Through incarceration, sexual violence, enforced isolation, restricted motion, threats, coercive drugging, gaslighting, and other abusive tactics, psychiatry works to undermine the embodied testimony of trauma by producing compliance. Psychiatry, instead of answering the call of trauma by addressing the underlying violence, works to silence that call. When direct resistance to violence, such as fighting back or escaping, is thwarted or impossible, traumatic вЂњacting outвЂќ can be a way to draw attention to and resist violence. This вЂњacting outвЂќ can be understood as an embodied form of testimony. When violence is ignored or normalized, the вЂњacting outвЂќ associated with trauma can be a means of sounding an alarm that something is very wrong. While these behaviours are pathologized as symptoms of mental illness, they can be understood, instead, as strategies of resistance against violence. more Self-harm, suicide attempts, disordered eating, addiction, and other forms of вЂњacting outвЂќ are associated with the trauma of surviving violence. Self-harm, suicide attempts, disordered eating, addiction, and other forms of вЂњacting outвЂќ are as.
