Electronic ankle bracelets, Technology of government, Ethnography of objects.Abstract
This article is the result of an ethnographic research on the uses of electronic ankle bracelet, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul/RS. Electronic ankle bracelets are objects anchored in the ankle of criminal distress as an alternative to prision. The objective of this work is to reflect on the different ways in which this object is put into practice by the different publics that form and that are formed by this artifact, such as security agents, social workers, judges and people who use ankle bracelets and their families. The focus of this work will be on the mediation processes that accompany the electronic bracelet, from its objectives idealized by the agents of the State - such as the creation of new subjectivities - to the various accommodations and consequences of this technology of government in the daily life of the users themselves.Downloads
