Necroterritórios: Territorialização e desterritorialização dos povos indígenas como estratégias necropolíticas

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the territory as a necropolitical technology for the production of death of indigenous peoples, based on the theory of Achille Mbembe and Rogério Haesbaert. Firstly, we discussed the concept of necropolitics, and then we explained the historic process of genocide of indigenous peoples. Third, we analyzed the territory as a necropolitical technology for the production of death of these peoples, mainly based on practices of territorialization and deterritorialization. The research is exploratory and adopts the deductive method, using bibliographic and documentary review as research tools. In the end, we concluded that the territories in the Cerrado and in the Amazon are truly necroterritories, in which processes of territorialization and deterritorialization capture the lives of indigenous peoples and produce their mass extermination in response to the needs of agribusiness capital.
