Produção do espaço e violência de controle social: da articulação funcional à mercadorização espetacular

Abstract

The present work entitled “Production of Space and Social Control Violence: from functional articulation to spectacular commodification” presents a research about the relationship between the production of space and the violence of social control, on the conditions of its foundation and transformation in capitalist society. It aims to theoretically substantiate our hypothesis that the crisis of expanded reproduction of capital, manifested from the 1970s onwards, represents a turning point that leads to the production of spectacular space that starts to incorporate the violence of social control as a spectacular commodity, in order to interrupt the possibilities of an urban like the Lefebvrian utopia, as well as reproduce the social relations of capital production. In view of this objective, a bibliographic review was undertaken, presented on the form of debates, which intercross knowledge from different areas of knowledge, involving works and researchers from Geography Becker (1978), Harvey ([1989], 2012) and Trindade Jr (2016), Social Sciences, Oliveira, (2003), Shearing & Stenning (1981) and Souza (2015), Arantes Philosophy (2014), Lefebvre ([1971], 2008) and Zizek (2008), History, Liang ( 1992) and Architecture, Arantes ([1998], 2014), Benevolo ([1971], 2015) and Hall ([1988], 2016), addressing themes ranging from the urban, to the city and metropolis, violence and social control , capital reproduction and commodification processes. These, in turn, are organized into four theoretical paths that seek elements that are fundamental to the central hypothesis. Finally, after consolidating these elements, a brief conclusion and some notes for future research are presented.
