A (in)visibilidade dos acontecimentos e a lógica do condomínio na sociedade brasileira contemporânea

Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the polarizations scenario which marks the Brazilian context from the crossing between two events that occurred in August 2015: the slaughter that killed 18 people in Osasco and Barueri (São Paulo), on the 13th, and the manifestations against Dilma Rousseff government, on the 16th. The association between both events brought some polarizations which constitute the contemporary public scene: between pro and anti-government people, between center and periphery, between rich and poor people. The analysis reveals features of a kind of “condo logic” (DUNKER, 2015) that characterize our society: a life form marked by segregation, in which “walls” prevent the dialogue and the comprehension between different people – what is central in the building of a democratic society.
