| Abstract | |
This thesis analyzes the technical, political, epistemological and subjective elements that constitute the electronic monitoring (EM) of prisoners in Brazil. It investigates the effects of the use of electronic anklets in semi-open prisons, house arrest curfews and pre-trial measures, connected to the current transformations operated within the power of punishing. The research develops from three organizing axes: 1) the analysis of the implementation of electronic monitoring policies in Brazil, having as scope the understanding of its development and forms of application, confronted with the announced purposes of decarceration; 2) the investigation of the discourses and rationalities that underlie the measure, articulated with the emergence and consolidation of a new economy of punishment and 3) the effects of electronic monitoring practices on the lives and bodies of monitored people, connected to the processes of subjectification triggered by new control technologies. These three axes constitute the guiding lines of research and analysis, establishing throughout the thesis a series of intersections and contact points between them. The basic research material consists of interviews and notes produced in field research, as well as legislative documents and quantitative data related to the application of electronic monitoring in Brazil. Interviews and fieldwork were conducted in the states of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Maranhão and Ceará, including semi-open halfway houses, electronic monitoring centers, state courts and several urban spaces. Relying on the empirical data, the thesis presents an analysis of the expansion and densification movements of the Brazilian penal system, driven by electronic monitoring; the transversalization of heterogeneous discursive practices - punitive, economic and humanitarian - in the constitution of the monitoring dispositif; and the production of new forms of subjectivation and desubjectivation mediated by the interfaces established between the penalized body that circulates and the machine that conducts its circulation.
