From the Global to the Local: Genocide of Indians in Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

The civilizing process is by itself a genocidal logic of domination, territorial invasion, looting and massacre of human life. Despite the distant existence of this human practice, it was only after World War II that a Polish jurist named Raphael Lemkin created the term, which was later incorporated into the London Statute in 1945. More than a crime, genocide is a form of governmentality in the Foucauldian sense of the word, has thus, vitimological and criminological matrices, accompanying political practices of conversion from the State of Law to Police State. It aims to eliminate homo sacer, using legitimated ex ante speeches and rhetoric of neutralization of responsibility ex post factum. It is not necessary to reach the confines of the east to analyze or have objects of analysis. Here in Pindorama, the Guarani-Kaiowá ethnic group is subjected to a real concentration camp in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. There is no clear horizon, except for the exercise of universal jurisdiction to reverse this mass cadaver production.
