Resumo: Social technologies (STs), as actions aimed at improving the quality of life of various social groups that are outside the market or the economic system, aim at a new non-predatory development model. Faced with the idea of improving quality of life, these technologies end up obtaining a diffusion with no limitation, contributing more to the system’s maintenance than to the final solution of social problems. Having this in mind, the main objective of this theoretical essay is discussing how often STs end up as a panacea and instrument of power relations, working on the justification and intensification of new domination forms in contemporary societies. In order to think through the diffusion of these technologies, first, there emerged the need to deepen understanding of what STs are. Then, the purpose was exploring Michel Foucault’s viewpoint on the biopolicies and biopower and interweaving, in this discussion, STs.

Diante da ideia de melhoria da qualidade de vida, essas tecnologias acabam obtendo uma difusão sem limites, colaborando mais para a manutenção do sistema que para a solução definitiva dos problemas sociais. Tendo isso em vista, o objetivo principal deste ensaio teórico é discutir o quanto, muitas vezes, as TS acabam virando panaceia e instrumento das relações de poder, funcionando na justificação e intensificação de novas formas de dominação nas sociedades contemporâneas. Com o intuito de refletir sobre a difusão dessas tecnologias, inicialmente, surgiu a necessidade de aprofundar o entendimento sobre o que são as TS. Em seguida, o intuito foi explorar a visão de Michel Foucault sobre as biopolíticas e o biopoder, e entremear, nessa discussão, as TS.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2015-10-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/13554Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 13 No. 4 (2015); 687 a 700Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 13 Núm. 4 (2015); 687 a 700Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 13 n. 4 (2015); 687 a 7001679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/13554/55518Copyright (c) 2015 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMendes, LucianoBonilha, Maíra CoelhoIchikawa, Elisa YoshieSachuk, Maria Iolanda2016-10-10T17:38:48Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/13554Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T09:59:49.238872Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
