UMA LEITURA DISCURSIVA DE CORPOS INFAMES:

A DISCURSIVE READING OF INFAMOUS BODIES: THE DIVERSITY THAT LIVES IN THE STREETS

Abstract

For different reasons, many people live in the streets in a condition of infamy and something is repeated in their narratives, accusing a discursive regularity: the escape from a situation that oppresses, suffocates, controls and makes them invisible. The street becomes a so-called heterotopic space, a place without a place, at the same time that it is a place where everything is possible. On the street, people cry, remember, dream, plan, flee, say prayers, in short, they (mis)find each other in many ways. The government, despite proposing some alternatives, providing a support center for this population, the so-called Centro Pop, still does not handle something very precious for these people's lives: sensitive listening as a line of visibility. I will make a discursive reading of some discursive materialities published on the Instagram of FSA Invisível, a group in which I have participated for two years as a volunteer, to now operate the displacement to the investigative look of the senses and subjectivities produced, practicing a discursive reading based on Foucauldian, collaborating to give visibility to these subjects in a condition of infamy, as well as to the knowledge/power relations that are in the ballast of the constitution of these subjects and the way in which they are (in)visibilized. I mobilize notions from Foucault's archeogenealogy of discourse, in order to understand the established discursive order that establishes the street as a place without a place, heterotopic. I also consider the notion of subject, to understand how he moves in the meshes of power that insist on exercising practices that subject him, watch over him and punish him in the streets. Another important notion is that of enunciation, as it encourages discussion about the (un)truths produced and their enunciability regimes, in the midst of these subjects' narratives.
