THE PILA RUNS: ILLEGAL WORK IN THE DRUG TRAFFICKING NETWORK IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF MOSSORÓ/RN
Marxism; Work; Crime; Prison; Narrative.
In this dissertation, I intend to investigate the work processes in the illicit drug trafficking market in the municipality of Mossoró/RN. The starting point will be the link between violence in the capital-labor relationship of the illicit trade and the precariousness of work in the contemporary crisis of capital, in order to understand the category of illicit work based on the subjectivities and trajectories of individuals incarcerated for drug trafficking in the Mário Negócio Agricultural State Penal Complex (CPEAMN). To this end, I adopt a method centered on the claim of historical-dialectical materialism and the artisanal systematics of methodological procedures aimed at narrative interviews. In this way, I guide the work in three moments: studying the exploitation of the workforce in drug trafficking as an expression of the structural precariousness of work on the periphery of capitalism; understanding violence as an instrument of selective regulation of illegal markets and social control; and analyzing the labor particularities of labor relations in drug trafficking in Mossoró, to verify phenomena such as precariousness, overexploitation and malleability with other forms of work.
