RESUMO

This thesis aims to map, context and explain the major events and relationships arising from the illegality present in a metropolitan urban economy. Thus, based on the analysis of the need for these practices to the capitalist mode of production, is seeking to discuss the importance of the illicit understanding to the urban contemporary phenomenon. Therefore, we emphasize the character of the primitive accumulation and it´s constant re-position, particularly in non-industrial orbits of associated capitalism. It is also discussed the role of the state in the reproduction of the illegality, either through protection to the merchant capital, or working to improve the urban capitalist accumulation, exacerbating inequalities in the cities. Thus, it is studied the relationship between informality and illegal practices of survival of the poor, "marginalized" and non-owners and the configuration of a specific real state market for the poor. Finally, we tried to integrate these relations with the new issues involving the illicit, especially the effects of drug trafficking and the increase in the illegal trade in the wake of the liberal economic reforms of the 90s.
