We’re waiting for you all!

Ending the year with a golden key, Ius commune promotes the launch of the book entitled “State Racism and Its Ways to Make Death”, next Tuesday, 15/12, at 14h. This powerful writing book is the result of Lorena Silva Oliveira’s master’s thesis in philosophy, nominated for the Philosophers Award.

Born in the city of Prata, Minas Gerais, Lorena Oliveira holds a Master’s degree and a Degree in Philosophy from the Federal University of Uberlândia. Currently, doctoral student in Philosophy by the Post-Graduation Program in Philosophy / PPGF-UFRJ. She is a researcher in African and Afrodiasporic Political Philosophies and Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations.

The book is an invitation to reflect on the discovery of the mechanics of the device called racism and its modus operandi in a perspective of necropower, which results in the genocide of black youth. The author considers this investigation “a motto of life”. To this end, it articulates the conceptions of Michel Foucault and Achille Mbembe, based on the concepts of biopower, state racism and necropolitics.

The expansion of this reflection is urgent and necessary in the area of the legal sciences. Likewise, it is fundamental to construct spaces of intersubjectivation with the other areas. It is a painful path, but above all necessary for the construction of the possibility of recognition of humanity and of the future for the black population.

The event will take place via live on Youtube, which will be recorded and made available on our Channel. Participation in the webconference will grant a 2h/class certificate to participants. We will count on the participation of Luciano Goés, phD student in Law at the University of Brasília (UnB), and Mario Davi Barbosa, master’s degree in Theory and History of Law by PPGD (UFSC), as commentators; and Vanilda Santos, PhD student in law at PPGD/UFSC, as a mediator.

What is the status of a discipline that deals with the history of a consolidated area of research? In this discussion, we intend to deal with two particular cases of this general issue: the History of Philosophy and the History of Law.

Each of the two cases has salient peculiarities: for example, the History of Philosophy is a discipline consecrated in the curricula of philosophy courses, it is a field that is part of the expertise expected of a professional philosopher and, for part of the philosophical community, is the philosophical exercise par excellence (and, in the most extreme versions of the thesis, the only possible). On the other hand, the History of Law occupies a very different position: it is not, at least in Brazil, a consolidated part of curricula and the object of systematic investigation and bibliographic production that confronts a history of naïve law that is sometimes told despite the lack of evidence in its favor and a critical look capable of identifying elements of social power that this naïve version creates and consolidates.

In this sense, this round table aims to explore some specific difficulties of each area. In favor of a History of Law, Professor Diego Nunes intends to discuss theoretical difficulties for the establishment of a community of law historians who guide their investigations using consolidated tools of search and organization of historical evidence, moving away from a “pseudo-scholarly baccalaureate” that infiltrates the naïve version.

Alternatively, given the place of the History of Philosophy in the Brazilian philosophical tradition, Professor Alexandre Meyer Luz intends to discuss difficulties for the consolidation of a philosophical tradition centered on problems as an alternative to the place of honor often attributed to historiographic work.

Despite the differences between the subareas, the authors intend to suggest that there are many common points that deserve joint attention: epistemological issues, such as the question about the status of subareas as potential producers of knowledge; questions about the symbolic power that the sub-areas carry and distribute, etc.

Therefore, with the aim of creating a space for exploring these common issues.

All invited!
