“…This is the beginning of one of the tragedies that make up the trauma hospital, a place where not physical death stands out, but rather the struggle for life through the acknowledgment of trauma. As Medeiros (2018) explains, in the absence of a language for the enormity of family members' pain there are challenges to "borrow, steal, and create words," something to offer support. For this reason, shards and conversations, more than narrative genres, are the dialogic constructions of a Research(er).…”

Ethnographic research in a trauma hospital made it possible to systematically accompany one of the families who have survived armed conflicts. We observed, in the work process of the Intensive Care Unit, how a body between life and death is revealed through the interactions between health professionals and family members. It is perceived that the "delivering bad news" perspective suppresses the effects produced by state practices of life and death management, in contexts of criminalization of violence reiterated in the daily routine of the trauma hospital. To rectify responses based on biology and protocol, we adopted the epistemological perspective of anthropology and social psychology. This study has shown that the discursive practices reproduced the dynamics of social inequality linked to racism and classism, while families from precarious territorialities constantly experience traumatic situations and imminent grief for violent health problems.

Working at the edge: Police, emotions and space in Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro’s police officers habitually work on the edge of a border – between rationalised and ordered routines on one hand, and risk, disorder and incipient violence on the other. The article argues that this edge has distinct emotional components and concrete spatial consequences for the production of the city as a bordered space. Conceptually, the article combines spatial thinking about the production of territoriality with an emotional understanding of the police as ‘edgeworkers’ grounded in cultural criminology. Empirically, this piece uses ethnographic material from research with ordinary civil police officers and Special Forces in Rio. Across three empirical sections, the article explores police emotions and their significant spatial effects. First, the article mobilises the metaphor of ‘drying ice’ that police officers use to symbolise their everyday struggle with Rio’s urban conflict, and which leads them to produce spaces of secrecy. Second, the article shows how the police consider their job to be a vocation, a stance which simultaneously produces spaces of exposure. Finally, the Special Forces’ activities are compared to those of soldiers in war zones, assessing how the officers as edgeworkers find ways of escaping their emotional dilemma, thereby producing the city as a space of war.

Rio as Method

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Death and life are carried out through the institutional construction of the dead and through the presence (or absence) of papers and bodies. This chapter presents an ethnography of organizing, classifying, and controlling dead bodies. Public institutions, such as the offices of the civil police of Rio de Janeiro and the courts, are used here to describe and analyze mechanisms that work toward a politics that kills and lets die. The chapter highlights a civilian whose body disappeared inside the Medical-Legal Institute to discuss how forgetfulness and deletion (re)produce death and suffering by the state. The description and ethnographic analysis of the management of deaths and the institutional building of the dead demonstrate how the dead are produced by race and violence, as well as by the technical-bureaucratic and moral practices that express the centrality of death in the daily lives of the living.
