Políticas de segurança e processos de subjetivação: uma cartografia com mulheres sobreviventes da prisão

Abstract

This research’s objective was to map how, in the porosities between inside and outside prison, security policies affect the lives of women who survived prison and how they become a part of their process of subjectivation. From the perspective of feminist critical criminology and cartography, supported by theoretical and methodological proppositions by Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Suely Rolnik, we interviewed three women who have been in prison in Brazil. Analysing micropolitical and macropolitical manifestations of the notion of security, we identified three intensities/forms through which these security policies gain consistency: security-of-repression, security-of-rights and health-security, the latter in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the end, it was possible to identify some clues that show how, in the face of the instituted violence of a security policy based on containment and punishment, the women we interviewed sought to build, through political organization and the construction of affective bonds, possible ways to promote practices that can guarantee their rights. Through these lines, we intended to analyse how colonial historic processes conform the folds of security policies in the prison context.
