Dispositivo drogas e governamentalidade neoliberal: funções estratégicas para o exercício do poder sobre os corpos e a população
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-03-14) LIMA FILHO, Eduardo Neves; CHAVES, Ernani Pinheiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5741253213910825; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8988-1910; GOMES, Marcus Alan de Melo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0371519214729478
The present study is developed with the objective of analyzing the strategic role of the drug device in neoliberal governmentality evidenced in Brazil and its strategic function for the exercise of power over bodies, over the population and the exercise of the power of death. In order to do so, itstarts from the theoretical-methodological tools developed by Michel Foucault, especially his analysis of power, including his studies on discourses, and his research on neoliberal governmentality. Thus, the work starts from the idea that it is possible to make use of Michel Foucault's research on power and knowledge, as well as his studies on neoliberal governmentality to understand the dynamics of the fight against drugs in the neoliberal context and its role in the exercise of referred to dynamics of exercising power. Based on the Foucauldian approach, the research problem corresponds to asking to what extent the drug device is managed in the neoliberal context from its usefulness to satisfy certain needs of groups that hold capital, enabling the control of bodies, the population and the exercise of the power of death. To answer the question, the work begins with a critical description of the methodological instruments developed by Michel Foucault, especially in his studies on knowledge and his analysis of power, which are fundamental for thinking about policies to combat drugs from the relations of power and forms of resistance in the neoliberal context. Then, it analyzes neoliberalism and its relations with biopower, emphasizing that Foucault does not reduce his analysis of neoliberalism to an exclusively economic issue and that is what is specific and singular in his position. It also deals with the anti-drug policy, starting with an analysis of drugs as a device in the Foucauldian sense. Then, a genealogical analysis of drug prohibitionism is carried out, without the intention of carrying out an approach that universalizes the issue. The analysis takes place through a cut aimed at understanding the current policy of drug repression in Brazil - without ignoring the strong international influences - from the ruptures that have occurred over the years and the conjunctural changes in the relations of power and resistance, especially since the rise and consolidation of neoliberalism. Finally, the strategic role of the war on drugs policy in neoliberal governmentality is demonstrated, especially in Brazil, concluding that the drug device is able to enable and justify the exercise of disciplinary power, biopolitics and sovereign power, especially over certain vulnerable groups because of its economic condition constantly worsened and precarious by neoliberal policies, as well as it is demonstrated that the changes, triggered in the neoliberal context, regarding the exercise of State racism and its intimate relationship with drug policy, which makes it possible to exercise the power of death on those groups.

A ilusão do controle das drogas: guerra às drogas e economia política do controle social
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-10-29) SILVA, Adrian Barbosa e; GOMES, Marcus Alan de Melo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0371519214729478
This present thesis confronts the theme of social control in the war on drugs. In its methodological path, which combines bibliographic and documental techniques with dialecticity anchored in the empirical (general method), it retakes the discussion around the concept of social control to evaluate its heuristic potential for analyzing the researched object (social control of drugs). When carrying out a national diagnosis based on the literature review (penalism and criminology), and noting the absence of a consolidated debate, it proposes a problematizing approach, in a negative (deconstruction or criticism of social control) and positive (reinvention or revisited social control) dimension in the face of particularities of the situated context. In this way, it seeks to boost the sociological oxygenation of critical criminology (referent), from an interactionist-materialist perspective (specific methodology) open to interdisciplinarity, forging a conceptual approach based on power relations (intersectional social control), from Mead to Marx & Foucault (and Mbembe), from contributions of gender, race and class and, consequently, on hierarchies of neoliberal capitalism and on the bonds of global dependence. Prohibitionism is taken as a case of study, given the need to cut and its unique relevance for understanding criminal and social issues. When questioning the impact of the production relations of the Brazilian social structure on the articulation of strategies for the social control of drugs (problem), tests the hypothesis – which, in light of the political economy of punishment, leads to believe that they are consistent with the transformations of the hegemonic mode of production –, and indicates its developments (objective general), dividing the investigation into four moments (specific objectives): initially (1st chapter), the limits of the legal field for understanding the phenomenon and the role of the hegemonic vision built in research on drug consumption, production and trade in Brazil for the maintenance of a security and defensive “academic collaborationism” are questioned, drawing up, in reaction, the guidelines for a (critical) sociocriminology on drugs and social control; then (2nd chapter), the debate around social control is reconstructed, proposing an updated reading on the subject, for then (3rd chapter) to situate social control in the scope of the critique of political economy, historicizing it in the Brazilian social structure and in its mode of production and, finally, the development of Brazilian-style prohibitionism, in both aspects, as much internationally as domestically, from the colony to democracy; and, finally, but not least (4th chapter), the microphysics and macrophysics of the war on drugs are unveiled, as a way of understanding the dimensions of the power relations that underlie (and which) strategies for the social control of drugs in the current stage of capital accumulation in the country and, as a background issue, the very meaning of “failure” (and the “alternatives” proposed to it) of war on drugs. It is intended, in the final analysis, to build criticism advocating the horizon of a political economy of social control of drugs, proposing a re-discussion of the metaphor or war in the light of the sovereignty of capital. It is a possible intellective effort for an emancipatory understanding and transformation of the social reality of the peripheral crowd that is the priority target of bio and necropolitical strategies in the social order.
