O que você sente na pele? Racialização da atuação policial e da política de segurança pública a partir do território do Lagamar em Fortaleza-CE

Abstract

This thesis aims to understand the network of relationships and social representations of police action with residents of the community of Lagamar and other surrounding neighborhoods based on their respective racializations. Analyzing police action, perceived through the speeches, I examine how the categories whiteness and blackness reveal a mosaic of (not) apparent images and repressed social and subjective dimensions. From this unveiling, I relate these practices to the categories racism, whiteness, human rights, territory, legality and public safety. I associate police practices perceived by whiteness and blackness with the paradigm of public security policy adopted during the Camilo Santana government (2015 to 2022), marked by the resurgence of public security policy under the justification of combating criminal factions. Based on interviews with residents of Lagamar, as well as residents of the middle class neighborhoods close to Lagamar, having their respective racializations as their main motto, I seek here to decode the meanings, meanings and meanings of the intertwined and complex network of resulting social representations of the encounter between the State, symbolized by the police and society, with the categories of whiteness and blackness as the core of the analysis. I analyze the race category as a fundamental category in the construction of the representation of police institutions in Ceará. I examine the fabrication of racist stigmas and stereotypes resulting from and sometimes prior to this meeting and its consequences in the execution of public security policy in this period.
