摘要：In this article we problematize the discourses that act on the objectivation and subjectivation of homeless people as criminals, through the analysis of texts from newspapers and other public documents produced on the occasion of the 108 murders of homeless people in a capital city from Brazilian northeast, between 2010 and February 2014. Based on Michel Foucault’s theory, we discuss the notion of biographical identity related to the production of a criminal subjectivity of the homeless. Then we take the contributions of Giorgio Agamben on bare life, demarking the relation of abandonment of the bare life with politics in modern societies. Finally, we discuss the effects of truth that these discourses produce in everyday social practices.
