PANDEMIA TRA CURA E INVESTIMENTO CAPITALISTICO / PANDEMIC AMONG CARE AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT

Abstract

This paper analyses the pandemic as rhetorical emergency in relation to the broader question of imprisonment during Covid-19. It describes some of the struggles which emerged from the inmates’ fear of being infected and the exacerbation of these struggles as a result of detention conditions. It is not by chance that these protests, which developed during a pandemic, reflect a politics of the governed that sees billions of people subjected to restrictions and confinement.
