A narcocultura na mídia: notas sobre um narcoimaginário latino-americano

<p>This article discusses the presence of a narcoimaginary in a popular <br />cultural production that focuses the world of illicit drugs in Latin <br />America. Our point of view is an alternative perspective to legal <br />referrals that characterized the discussions about the narcoworld in a <br />modern dimension. In this way, we realize that this narcoculture goes <br />against a prohibitionist and repressive trend that involves production, <br />marketing and use of narcotic drugs. The media are presented as a <br />problematic field in which the social agents involved in this process <br />negotiate their images from the politics of representation that rise <br />beyond the modern dichotomy of legality/illegality.<br /><br />
