Female Work in the Organizational Structure of Drug Trafficking
Drug Reafficking; Work Clinics; Sexual Division of Labor; Female Work
This research aims to understand the role of women's work in the organizational structure of drug trafficking. We devise the marketing of illicit psychotropic substances as a continuous activity which involves the supply of a commodity commercialized in the marginal market. This operation involves quality control, price regulation, charging, bill payment, wages, work relationships, hierarchical network and public/market conquest, closely resembling the retail trade. In this context, dealers are responsible for managing a complex supply chain, acting as decision makers in search of profit maximization and risk minimization opportunities. We’re going to use labor-based thematic life trajectory as methodology, making possible to study this phenomenon from the point of view of a subject who is constantly excluded from mainstream historical narratives. We ains to recognize a sociological knowledge based on individual knowledge through interlocution of the narratives. The analysis of the data will be made with the contribution of psychosociology and other Work Clinics, group of theories that seek to understand the relations between work and subjectivity. These theories share the search for the evidence of the relations established between the work and the processes of subjectivation, in order to raise awareness and give assistance to resistance actions, private or collective, faced with situations of precariousness, vulnerability and segmentation of the work collectives. It is hoped that this research will help understand the dynamics of the sexual division of labor into a criminal organization.
