Brazilian Bodies: Claiming Justice, Fighting the Violence

The Brazilian context informs a sui generis point of view on the role of violence, in various manifestations, in public management, specially to control certain bodies. In this paper, we will start our analyses from the narratives of two people positioned differently on the scale of how violence attacks theis bodies and subjectivities in order to highlight the necessary intersectional analysis of the reproduction of various forms of inequality and exclusion, emphasyzing the pedagogical processes that operate mainly through the fear and terror of punishment, silencing, lynching, torture, imprisonment and invisibilization that shape what certain bodies can dream of, perform and access.
