| Abstract | This thesis investigates the provenience and emergence of social assistance from practices which, touched by philanthropy and public policies of social assistance, have become government strategies since the post-republican period in Brazil, as well as its relationships with the imperatives of social protection and inclusion, whose notions are the privileged locus for the execution of such strategies. The thesis discusses the way in which social assistance in Brazil, from social-assistential practices that range from philanthropy to public policies of social assistance understood as strategies for the government of life, has been articulated with the notions of social protection and inclusion. It also investigates the implications produced by this kind of social assistance both in and on the population in contemporaneity; thus, the relationship between government and social assistance is analyzed from a critical perspective of the present, in a governmentality web that causes the population to be constituted as ‘poor’, ‘miserable’, ‘vulnerable’ subjects, as seen from a social-assistential model that guarantees assistance to those who need it. Therefore, considering this relationship between government and social assistance, we analyze the way through which Brazilian social assistance policies articulate practices of social protection and inclusion with the economic market in order to act on the government of the “poor/miserable/vulnerable” population by formulating strategies to have this population to take part in the neoliberal game. Such phenomenon can be called as the government of life through social protection and inclusion, which causes a number of mobilizations, such as the configuration of State, economy, economic market, philanthropy and public social policies (particularly, the social assistance policies). The study has been theoretically supported by post-structuralist authors, especially Michel Foucault’s works addressing the notions of governmentality, biopolitics, biopower and, consequently, the relationships between security, population and government. The research has been methodologically organized from the analysis of documents that both materialize and regulate Social Assistance in Brazil, such as: 1988 Federal Constitution, 1983 Social Assistance Act, 2004 National Policy of Social Assistance, 2005 Basic Operational Norm SUAS, 2012 Basic Operational Norm SUAS, and Acts 12.101 and 13.019, from 2009 and 2014, respectively. The aim is to investigate the way in which such policy has used the notions of social protection and inclusion as practices and, thus, as a place for implementation of a neoliberal political rationality. Aiming at examining how such policy has been implemented and provided to the population, we also analyzed the documents ruling the current socialassistential services and the way the social protection services of the Unified System of Social Assistance must be organized. They are the following: National Categorization of SocialAssistential Services, from 2009, republished in 2014, and e PAIF Technical Guidelines from 2012, vol. I and II. It has been possible to evidence that the social assistance policies, together with non-profitable institutions, in the public/private partnership have been an effective tool to act differently on the subjects’ conduct by managing risks and ruling the social annoyances produced by poverty, misery, hunger, vulnerability, deficiency, old age and social exclusion, in an attempt to guarantee social rights to the Brazilian citizens who need them. |
