The drug dealing war is a kind of conflict that happens in the outskirts of Brazilian major cities.It consists of a gun battle between rival gangs, motivated by personal disagreements or vendettas directed towards enemy groups.This phenomenon is the most responsible for youth mortality in the country.Using conversations with adolescents involved in drug dealing groups and also, psychoanalysis as the method of listening and analysis, this research attempts at a case description.Its role is to elucidate the dynamics of such dealing war in the Santa Lucia district, in Belo Horizonte -MG.The initial goal was to answer the question: why do young people become involved in the drug war, knowing the high risks of death?The hypothesis was that there was a hidden factor, with political and subjective dimension, that would support the choice.However, the result's complexity extended our comprehension of the issue.We began to understand this group of youngsters in society as Homo Sacers, a position that was produced and sustained by the violence speech and recognition of such subjects as exception.Therefore, we invested acute attention in the concept of war, providing insights into the political field, according to Clausewitz and Foucault, as well as insights about the subject, with Freud and Lacan.Subsequently, we proceeded to the understanding of how this position would be sustained in society through a discussion of the speech, in both Foucaultian and Lacanian terms.At that point, we explored Agamben's concept of Homo Sacer, supported by the following bases: the notion of Camp in Arendt, and biopolitcs in Foucault.The search was constantly marked by the formulating of a new methodology, attending the object's demands, because this object is not easily apprehended and it is constantly displacing the researcher the researcher and her place as a citizen of a society at war.This route search caused the expansion of the study field beyond the war, shifting how to recognize the other.This twist conducted the work for the need to see the man behind the soldier, and generated a new question, "what and why peace?".Is it simply the balance of an unfair society?We concluded that the question "why war?" can not be answered, because the subjects speech in the research context is dependent on the dynamics of recognition and social bonding, and thus the answers are always partial , subordinated to the way we recognize each other
