Gestão dos corpos nas favelas e periferias no Rio de Janeiro: das remoções à Covid-19

Abstract

In the course of the Brazilian Republic, the favelas and peripheries were the targets of several public administration interventions. These places were always placed as "the other", as vulnerable, as "problems". From a state point of view, these problems must be addressed through removals, militarization, the real estate market, among other different ways of managing a given population. Or simply, it can be left at the mercy of a purposeful precariousness in a time of crisis. Therefore, this study will use the city of Rio de Janeiro as a case study to exemplify the different production and management.
