Resumo: The study discusses current research on the etiology of crime in psychiatry and psychology and the different instruments used for this purpose. It is argued that these areas of research present resonances of the deterministic logic of the Positivist School of Criminology and of the eugenicist rationality of the first half of the 20th century. The historical narrative proposed here seeks to contribute to a reflection on the reification of crime and the use of devices for evaluating the body and the psyche. The study investigated the discourses on criminality and abnormality in the Boletim de Eugenia (1929-1932), exploring the hypothesis of the re-updating of eugenicist thinking in the current onslaught of supposed criminological knowledge. The study concludes that the attempts to capture psychology, as a device of power, make explicit the desire for normalization incorporated in the predictive logic of crime.

Argumenta-se que essas pesquisas apresentam ressonâncias da lógica determinista da Escola Positivista de Criminologia e da racionalidade eugenista da primeira metade do século XX. A narrativa histórica aqui proposta busca contribuir para as reflexões sobre a reificação do crime e uso dos dispositivos de avaliação do corpo e do psiquismo. O estudo pesquisou os discursos sobre criminalidade e anormalidade no Boletim de Eugenia (1929-1932), explorando a hipótese da reatualização do pensamento eugenista nas atuais investidas dos supostos saberes criminológicos. Conclui-se que as tentativas de captura da psicologia, enquanto dispositivo de poder, explicitam as vontades de normatização incorporadas na lógica preditiva do crime.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2023-05-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/article/view/3884310.35699/1676-1669.2023.38843Memorandum: Memory and History in Psychology ; Vol. 40 (2023)Memorandum: Memória e História em Psicologia; v. 40 (2023)1676-1669reponame:Memorandum (Belo Horizonte)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/article/view/38843/37701Copyright (c) 2023 Memorandum: Memória e História em Psicologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Luender Rytchell Martins Silva, Juliana Ferreira da2023-07-17T14:35:24Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/38843Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/memorandum/oaidecae@fae.ufmg.br1676-16691676-1669opendoar:2023-07-17T14:35:24Memorandum (Belo Horizonte) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
