- Abstract
By speculating over the limits of traditional and critical narratives on the history of social control, the present text discusses one issue: how would social control in a particular period in time be tied to race and, especifically, how would it produce discrimination towards “black” people? In order to answer to this question, we suggest a dialogue between the Agambenian concept of “bare life” and Foucault’s “dispositif ”. Thenceforth, we also review ideas from the “colonial hypothesis” on the explanation of the violence of social control forms, mainly on the constitution of racism. The construction of the analysis on race, from the concept of “dispositif ”, casts an alternative to the oposition between the notions of racism as practice and racism as episteme. Meanwhile, on the construction of biopower, visibility is given to practices and disputes on other margins of Modernity. The violence of Conquest is now seen as constitutive praxis, long before the birth of the sign “race”. On the same pace, the quarrels on the Black Atlantic over the control of the Black Cities, alongside with the political and cultural resignifications caused by the African Diaspora, acquire a strategical dimension in order to meditate on the appearance of criminal practices.
