DAMEDA, Cristiane  and  BONAMIGO, Irme Salete. Adolescents, infraction and drugs: mapping sociotechnical networks textures. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.70, n.3, pp. 5-20. ISSN 1809-5267.

The abusive use of licit and illicit drugs, prohibited commerce and other related illegalities are considered a serious problem in the contemporaneity, especially when associated with adolescents in infraction situation. Drugs are conceived, in this study, as an actor in the adolescent bonding network, but also as part of an expanding network through the sale, purchase, and consumption which link them to traffic. This article is the result of a research that identified, from the cartography method and notions of the Theory Actor-Network, drug consumption and the infraction act as effects woven by a network of actors and involving the action of the drug, of the subject, of the family and of other agents in the relationships that enclose them, permeated by the interests that are constructed in search of new experiences. It is the texture of this network cartography that produces and is produced by the various actors connected to it.

Keywords : Adolescence; Infraction act; Drugs; Traffic; Theory Actor-Network.
