ESTADO DE EXCEÇÃO NA PANDEMIA: Tanatopolítica e terror sobre o ghenos.

Abstract

Given the current moment where it is possible to observe the first social and economic effects related to the covid-19 pandemic caused by the coronavirus, which started in late 2020, it is necessary to reflect on which policies should be readjusted to better meet popular demands. Analyzing the social order, the following text should present the main aspects about the State of Exception, a concept systematized by the author Giorgio Agamben, as well as Thanatopolitics, conceived from the idea related to Biopolitics - by the philosopher Michael Foucault. These concepts aim to understand the State's interference in human life and to what extent the existing mechanisms promote the solidification of certain segments of the population in the condition of privilege. To understand how these concepts are applied in the current Brazilian reality, the recommendations of two bodies related to the medical field were used: CREMEPE and CREMERJ, as well as the Technical Note of the Health Operations and Intelligence Center (NOIS).
