The necropolitics in the violations of indigenous rights in the COVID-19 pandemic

the necessary path of ecosocialism

Abstract

This article intends to investigate the effectiveness of the Brazilian State's assistance actions to indigenous people in the context of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The general hypothesis is that the financial interests present in the public sector overlap to the detriment of humanitarian protection. The focus of the study will be how the State can use its discourse and power to control the limits of indigenous rights and even their death. The research combined the inductive and deductive methods, being of bibliographic and documentary nature. Through this article it was possible to verify that the adoption of lessons from subaltern epistemology and ecosocialism can overcome technocratic, bureaucratic and non-ecological conceptions, causing transformations not only in the relations of production and property, but in the very structure of the productive forces and modes of consumption.

Key words: Necropolitics; Indigenous rights; Subaltern epistemology; Ecosocialism.
