Que tiro foi esse? O medo na favela como ele é

Abstract

This research was produced from my experience as a favela resident, looking for denaturizing the fear resulting from the processes of violence to which we are subjected. It presents historical elements of the rise of the favelas and the establishment of the illegal drug trade in Rio de Janeiro. In this context, it problematizes the production of insecurity in society, as an effect of liberal biopolitical strategies, which are refined in neoliberalism. A path that helps to understand the impact of such insecurity in the favelas. Therefore, the normalization and standardization processes of society are studied, the risks, their management and the way in which they have created tools to facilitate the control and disciplining of a determined population that is criminalized and defined, as well as at the end nineteenth century, as dangerous classes. Discussing with Foucault, Deleuze, Mbembe, Nascimento, Batista, among others, we analyzed, based on excerpts from the field diary, news and an implicit writing, the modes of government of local groups, the modes of government of public security forces and their relationship with local groups, which have produced fear and caused the genocide of the poor and mainly black population in the favelas in the name of combating drug trafficking.
