| description | Within a broad debate on the crisis of modernity, emerges a concern about the loss of references and return of violence as a constitutive part of contemporary politics. Garland (2008) and Wacquant (2001) show that there is a crisis in the foundations of contemporary penal systems, but these changes occur at the same time as the expansion of crime-control mechanisms that led to the hardening of the penal law and the dissemination of social control strategies. From these findings on recent transformations in contemporary criminal justice system and the return of violence as a constitutive mechanism of politics, this paper investigates the extent to which these recent trends in criminal practices run counterwise to the trend towards the militarization of security. Alongside these reflections, this paper investigates, with the contributions of Foucault, how these punitive mechanisms could not symbolize a (re) approximation of punitive forms of modernity toward a biopolitics, or even, a tanatospolitics (AGAMBEN, 2004a). Do punitive strategies find their anchorage in war? In this sense, militarism, as the essence of exception, potentiates the unpunished death?

No interior de um amplo debate sobre a crise da modernidade, emerge uma inquietação sobre a perda de referências e de retorno da violência como parte constitutiva da política contemporânea. Garland (2008) e Wacquant (2001) demonstram que há uma crise nos fundamentos dos sistemas penais contemporâneos, mas que estas mudanças ocorrem de forma concomitante com a expansão dos mecanismos de controle do crime que acarretaram o endurecimento da pena e a disseminação do controle social. Com base na constatação das mudanças recentes do sistema penal contemporâneo e do retorno da violência como mecanismo constitutivo da política, este artigo questiona até que ponto estes novos mecanismos penais podem entrar em contradição com a tendência à militarização da segurança? Ao lado disto investiga, fundado nas contribuições de Foucault, de que maneira esses mecanismos punitivos simbolizariam uma reaproximação entre as formas punitivas da modernidade em direção a biopolítica, ou mesmo da thanatos política? (AGAMBEN, 2004a). As estratégias punitivas estão encontrando sua ancoragem na guerra? E, neste sentido, o militarismo, como essência da exceção, potencializa a morte impune? A conclusão aponta para a constituição de um dispositivo de segurança que é também um dispositivo de morte. 2015-08-13 2022-03-18T18:33:28Z 2022-03-18T18:33:28Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/7583 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63239 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/7583/5406 Copyright (c) 2015 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 20 n. 38 (2015): Dossiê: Sociedade e poder em Michel Foucault 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
