The objective of this dissertation is to understand how power relations are arranged in the territory known as Cracolândia, as a current political catalyst. Considering this, it is assumed that this area has been conceived - by various political forces - as a field of experimentation, a production laboratory for successive regimes that simultaneously combines testing, implementation and propagation of sophisticated control strategies upon the social fabric. Thus, I adopt the concept of the subject-pipe as a tool to analyze the forces that are willing to produce a state of abnormality. The pipe is the immediate connector to the social meanings attributed to crack. It simultaneously conveys its user as an individual who has lost their reason, an abject failure who acts impulsively and violently to satisfy their immediate interest in using the substance. What we intend to investigate is the idea that this concept serves very specific political functions, implicated in subjection strategies related to the production of abnormal figures, pathologized and conceived as enemies that, in the end, can be eliminated. The operability of this mechanism occurs, first, by the dissemination of psychiatric power in its function of distinguishing individuals between normal and abnormal or between those who must live or die as a consequence of contemporary biopolitics. As the enemy (pipe-subject) is personified and pathologically conceived, the fight is given by the increasing militarization and mechanisms of securitization of life that perpetuate the logic of war in regions considered vulnerable, building themselves as true open-air jails, which legitimizes the state of exception.
