Abstract:

This article is an essay on the production of public insecurity, its income in terms of a regime of fear and its effects of normalization of practices in exception to the rule of law. It benefitsethnographic work with favela youth, military police and civil guardsthe State of Rio de Janeiro, and alsothe survey of documentary and journalistic sources on the internet, in the period2017 to 2019. The reflections are guided by the discussion the production of insecurity as a power. The logic of \"protection\" takes the place of security. The results point to the manufacture of diffuse and immediate threats as a resource for the imposition of a political economy of control and social regulation. The health crisis has aggravated the security crisis, keeping people on an alert, urgent basis, living the immediate. Collective insecurity is not necessarily an unwanted outcome. It has been an expected and effective result. A strategic means to produce and sustain a project of exclusive and unequal power, for a few.
