Terrorismo e sociedade de controle

Abstract

This research, located in the field of international relations, discusses the forthcoming of contemporary trans-territorial terrorism and the so-called War on Terror, as an international political commitment of States seeking to contain the current terrorism and promote safety on a planetarium level. Through inquiry methods that tend to rescue origins and development of policies seeking to regulate and circumscribe war, establishing an international security, there is the current War on Terror inserted into a logic of social control that articulates combined actions of armed conflict, gross states of exception and the formalization of new rights. In this questioning, is observed the investment in the fight against terrorism through control and disciplinary mechanisms, internationalized, establishing a governmentality based on the resizing of biopolitics wich materializes it self through the implementation of preventive wars, by the use of Guantanamo Bay prison, through operationalized military interventions, by the effectiveness of many migration containment policies, by policing and monitoring of "danger zones", through the election of new permanent enemies of society. At the same time, terrorism is appointed as a political act embedded within a certain correlation of forces, which in its current resizing, articulates another authoritarian power which selects and kills. Terrorism and counter-terrorism are analyzed, therefore, from the conception of politics as war, setting the current international environment
