SUMMARY:

This thesis inquires into the Biopolitics research field from the context of Brazilian enslavement and its consequences. To do so, I approach the main biopolitical theories in vogue — with the theses of Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt being selected — as a counterpoint to necropolitics, with the theses of Achille Mbembe being the basis of such a debate. Not being the simple opposite of biopolitics (as is the case of thanatopolitics), necropolitics presents itself with its own rationality, where death is its foundation and main object and not life, as in biopolitical theories. Thus, making an archeology of Brazilian slavery, understanding the racial issue as a constitutive element of the modern slave, I understand that necropolitics is a more adequate interpretative key to investigate this reality. Considering the slave as a paradigm, it was possible to assess the status under which these individuals were subjected: through social death and their complete dehumanization. It was with this paradigm in perspective that there was a need to critically appropriate the categories of bare life in Giorgio Agamben and precarious life in Judith Butler in order to understand the status of the slave, the result of which was a new interpretation of these categories.
