Abstract

NUNEZ NORIEGA, Guillermo  and  ESPINOZA CID, Claudia Esthela. Drug-Trafficking as a dispositif of sex-gender power: organized crime, masculinity and queer theory. Rev. interdiscip. estud. género Col. Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.3, n.5, pp.90-128. ISSN 2395-9185.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eg.v3i5.119.

In this article we review the distinction between criminal and delinquent organization in Mexico, as well as the way it has been studied in its relation with men, masculinity and sexuality. We propose, departing from a set of empirical references and with the support from queer theory, that we should consider drug-trafficking and its concomitant “narcoculture”, a major example of organized crime, as a technology of gender and sexuality, and that through that doing it reproduces its economic and symbolic capital.

Keywords : crime; drug trafficking; masculinity; queer theory.
