O dispositivo policial : crítica à violência-crítica do poder

Abstract

This master’s dissertation has as principal goal to question the existance of a police dispositive, that operationalizes throught the subjectivation and the desubjectivation of individuals and places itself far beyond the modern police institution, affecting not only the operators, in general, of the criminal system, but also the social relations. To confirm this hypothesis, the search initially focus on the Brazilian criminal system and it contemporary double frame, trying to trace, not only the pulsing mass encarceration since the end of the XX century, but also the state crimes against the black and poor population. Furthermore, other goal is to question about the emergency of the modern police, liking it with elementary features of its activities, as well to trace the birth and development of the Brazilian police, not forgetting to localize it on the exception paradigm of Giorgio Agamben, in other words, displacins from a contractualist vision of its activities and showing that Brazilian police are linked both to a fouding and to a conservative violence, spectral quintessentially. Thus, from the police, institution that concetrates the security power in modern democracies, is that seeks to think what represents a police dispositive in power relations and which are the possible interminglings of its crossings.
