description | Based on analysis of the distribution of violent deaths in the urban space of the municipality of São Paulo between 2003 and 2008, the article suggests that there is a morbid patterns of spatial governance that elects specific urban geographies and specific bodies as the main target if control and production of fear. Based on Foucault’s concepts of governmentality and Achilles Mbembe’s concept of necropower, the work also suggests that the concentration of death in predominately black neighborhoods constitutes a state-sponsored necropolitic. Such politic of death is expressed in the state omission and/or its complicity with the morbid patterns of racial relations in Brazil. |

A partir da análise da distribuição desigual de mortes violentas no espaço urbano da cidade entre 2003 e 2008, o artigo sugere que há um padrão mórbido de governança espacial que elege determinadas geografias urbanas e determinados corpos como os alvos de controle e produção do medo. Os conceitos de necropoder e governamentalidade discutidos por Michael Foucault e Achilles Mbembe, respectivamente, sustentam o argumento de que a distribuição desigual da morte no município se constitui em uma necro-política estatal de gestão do espaço urbano e controle da população, seja por omissão seja por cumplicidade com os padrões mórbidos de relações raciais no Brasil. 2011-11-20 2022-03-17T15:13:43Z 2022-03-17T15:13:43Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.revistas.usp.br/rdg/article/view/47222 10.7154/RDG.2011.0022.0006 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/41855 por https://www.revistas.usp.br/rdg/article/view/47222/83830 Copyright (c) 2011 Jaime Amparo Alves application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo.
