AEDO, Angel. An (Very) Internal Security of the State. The Work of Prevention in Prisoners’ Families. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2020, n.71, pp.2-14. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res71.2020.01.

This article analyses the work of prevention within a specific social field: the families of prisoners. From this place of experience, it examines how prevention takes shape as a technology of government that guides practices, thoughts and ways of being. Within this relational movement, this article theorizes the concept of “subject of prevention” in order to explain how a framework of subjectivation emerges as an agent of moral discipline, which is conceived through a neoliberal grammar of state programs, translated into ordinary language by NGO workers and driven by the imperative to prevent.

Palavras-chave : Disciplining women; families of prisoners; moral economy; neoliberalism; prevention; security.
