This article discusses the presence of a narcoimaginary in a popular
cultural production that focuses the world of illicit drugs in Latin
America. Our point of view is an alternative perspective to legal
referrals that characterized the discussions about the narcoworld in a
modern dimension. In this way, we realize that this narcoculture goes
against a prohibitionist and repressive trend that involves production,
marketing and use of narcotic drugs. The media are presented as a
problematic field in which the social agents involved in this process
negotiate their images from the politics of representation that rise
beyond the modern dichotomy of legality/illegality.
