Abstract

Based on an ethnographic research on refugee processes of Colombian nationals in Brazil, the article discusses practices and formats of production and management of subjects in the contemporary government of populations in exodus. The paper argues that the precariousness of public policies is not tantamount to an absence of state power to produce excludable subjects and / or to filter out those who will be recognized and those who will be embedded in other migratory categories or left out. From an anthropological perspective, from what we might call an ethnography of the State, the text takes seriously the failure to do and make it precarious as powerful forces of political action, exposing, in a concrete way, some practices of the Brazilian administrative traditions in the management of refugees that it was possible to identify in field research.
