Deodoro: formas de governo para uma "região olímpica"

Abstract

This thesis examines the forms of government that produced the "Olympic zone of Deodoro", one of the four areas chosen for sports disputes during the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Based on the space and time frameworks cadenced by the "Olympic zone", we consider the assemblages, techniques and thoughts articulated to the practices of management of populations and territories, understood as a territorialized and co-productive dynamics, made of interactions with the governed. To follow up these processes, reports, official documents and publicity pieces about Deodoro and the Games were collected, as well as interviews and observations of meetings and meetings between City Hall, the Army and groups of organized residents. Concentrating the largest military barracks in Latin America, the "Deodoro region" highlights the conduct of the military corporation, strengthened by the militarization that accompanies the promotion of the mega-event and by policies to support athletes of highperformance. However, other forms of government combine and also conflict for the production of this space, and in this sense, the objective of this investigation is to understand the justifications, effects, limits and mixtures that constituted the modes of "transformation" of that "zone".
