Abstract

In this writing, under the precepts of schizoanalysis (Deleuze & Guattari) and necropower (Mbembe), it will be reviewed that the drug trafficking novel focuses on reproducing two discursive constants exposed in a customary way by official institutions (government, media, entertainment industry, etc.): (narco) capitalism and violence. As a central purpose, I will analyze in what way in this narrative the systematic terrorism exercised by the drug cartels through their economic power, who, acting as large transnational corporations, can corrupt all social strata, thus establishing themselves as the supreme socius; thus evidencing that these criminal organizations fragment, control and transgress public space.
