Narcotraffic presents itself as a political, economic and cultural problem of the
contemporary world, especially considering its impacts on large metropolises,
becoming also an urban-regional issue. In this sense, it has configured organizational
models defined in territories-networks and territories-zones that are demarcated and
articulated on the urban space. The definition of the term narcosobreposition,
defended in the thesis, deals with the presence of overlapping territories, where
narcotraffic, in networks and zones and narcomilices, manifests power technologies
that are part of daily life mainly of the inhabitants of the periphery. Thus, the central
objective of the thesis is to analyze the overlap of territories in Belém from the power
relations of the drug traffic. The city of Belém is among the most violent capitals in
Brazil, according to the official data of the Brazilian Forum of Public Security. Located
in the Eastern Amazon, the city has become one of the nodes for spatial organization
of illegal narcotraffic networks in the region and a potential consumer market for
cocaine sales. The empirical view of the thesis conveys terms such as:
precariousness, "urban agglomerations of exclusion", narcodisciplin, narcomilitias
and narcosobreposition, because the socio-geographical reality of the neighborhoods
where narcotraffic exerts influence points to a dynamic of urban conflicts in which
death presents itself as a political category of power relations.The literature review,
documentary analysis, field work with photographic records, interviews and
systematic observations were part of the thesis methodology. Lastly, it is concluded
that the territorial divergences from the narcosobreposition have led to the
manifestation of a necropower that disciplines the territories and the subjects,
resulting in the configuration of the map of the extermination that reaches the
vulnerable areas of the periphery of Belém.
