The Potency of Care: an Experience in the Prision System of Pernambuco

Abstract

Our text aims to interrogate the dynamics of the prison system in Pernambuco. For this, using cartography as a methodological strategy and the essay as narrative politics, we work on the construction of the text from analyzing scenes. These, analyze the daily prison and the forces that act in this territory producing a scene of violence, violations of rights and disposable lives. Finally, without the pretense of pointing to ways of acting in the prison system, we understand care as a potent micropolitical strategy for the production of resistances. Through care practices, we focus on interventions that, even when they occur in institutions that feed practices that segregate, violate and manufacture deaths, we can create loopholes for the emergence of singularization processes to ventilate lives, that is, to make possible the construction of escape routes in the way of functioning of this enormous “mill to spend people” that is the Brazilian prison system.
