Gestar e gerir: estudos para uma antropologia da administração pública no Brasil

‘I want to give myself the opportunity and be adopted’: the production of subjects and meanings in adoption processes in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires (Argentina)

“…In our latitudes, one of these lines of research focuses on the exercise of power that follows a 'tutelary' logic in which an educational, pedagogical dimension is highlighted that permeates the relationship between tutor and ward (Pacheco de Oliveira 2011). Along similar lines, Souza Lima (2002) postulates two dimensions in the exercise of power: 'gestating', which points to a constitutive, pedagogical function, of 'mothering', of 'teaching to be' that is based on the desire for 'good'; and 'managing', which refers to the daily control in administration over segments of the population. For her part, Adriana Vianna (2002; pursues the approach of these authors in her analysis of the tutelary facets of contemporary childhood management and maintains that it is based on the complementarity between the bureaucratic apparatus and the domestic units in which the children are inserted, or rather to which their direct control is transferred, pairing them in asymmetric relationships.…”

The work of María Gabriela Lugones ( 2012) is situated among these themes, since she assumes the proposal discussed by Souza Lima and Vianna to analyse 'the modalities of the management of minors' in the Tribunales Prevencionales de Menores [lit.…”

Diagnosticar falhas e solucionar litígios de saúde: o processo de criação da CRLS

“…A definição de uma situação ou fenômeno como um problema social (Lenoir, 1998) ou problema público (Cefaï, 2017) é uma etapa fundamental para que determinadas práticas e projetos de intervenção estatal sejam justificados e legitimados. Em uma abordagem antropológica do Estado e das políticas públicas focada na dimensão administrativa (Souza Lima, 2002e 2013Souza Lima e Castro, 2015;Teixeira e Souza Lima, 2010), esse raciocínio encontra eco na ideia de que certas noções são fabricadas e utilizadas para fins de gestão, uma vez que determinada conjuntura tida como "problemática" implica a adoção de racionalidades estatais produzidas como imprescindíveis para a manutenção da máquina pública.…”
