| Sumario: | The prohibition of drugs is considered in terms of the notion of device elaborated by Foucault: a network inscribed in a power play that articulates the orientation of behaviors through a series of discourses, institutions, laws and other instances. Insofar as it is internalized in the form of beliefs and feelings, the device is constitutive of subjectivity. The prohibitionist device is analyzed through four social dimensions: the religious and the political refer to the respective moral and ethnic substrates that underlie it; the medical and legal refer to the disciplinary complicity that has sanctioned the double condition of disease and criminality. The political-juridical ambivalence inherent to the prohibition is own of the ‘state of exception’ as it has been elaborated by Agamben, based on whose contrasts between potestas and auctoritas is formulated a synthesis of the processes of subjectivation implied in this device. |
