Resumo: This paper proposes a cross-reading between Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory and the studies on neoliberal governmentality inspired by Michel Foucault. Instead of suggesting a deficit in the autopoiesis of systems, the text advances the hypothesis that neoliberalism is expressed in the form of a colonization of the operational mechanisms of functional systems: law and politics, especially, are taken by a specific economic rationality that governs their forms of self-reference (reflexivity and reflection) and hetero-reference (second-order observation, mainly by science). Due to this specific colonization of the autopoiesis of functional systems, neoliberal rationality paradoxically maintains functional differentiation but restricts its assumptions: a degree of social inclusion and systemic disintegration that allows maintaining the distinction between economic, political and legal codes and programs.

Em vez de sugerir um déficit na autopoiese dos sistemas, o texto avança a hipótese de que o neoliberalismo se expressa na forma de uma colonização dos mecanismos operacionais dos sistemas funcionais: o direito e a política, especialmente, são tomados de uma racionalidade econômica específica que passa a reger suas formas de autorreferência (reflexividade e reflexão) e heterorreferência (observação de segundo grau, sobretudo pela ciência). Por essa específica colonização da autopoiese dos sistemas funcionais, a racionalidade neoliberal paradoxalmente mantém a diferenciação funcional mas restringe seus pressupostos: um grau de inclusão social e desintegração sistêmica que permita manter a distinção entre os códigos e programas econômicos, políticos e jurídicos.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2023-01-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/11197910.1590/15174522-111979SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 No. 61 (2022): Dossier Women in Social Theory; 170-197SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 Núm. 61 (2022): Dossier Mujeres en la Teoría Social; 170-197Sociologias; v. 24 n. 61 (2022): Dossiê Mulheres na Teoria Social; 170-1971807-03371517-4522reponame:Sociologias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/111979/86854Copyright (c) 2022 Laurindo Dias Minhoto, Lucas Fucci Amato, Pedro de Almeida Pires Camargoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMinhoto, Laurindo DiasAmato, Lucas FucciCamargos, Pedro de Almeida Pires2023-01-10T17:36:34Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/111979Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologiasPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologias/oai||revsoc@ufrgs.br1807-03371517-4522opendoar:2023-01-10T17:36:34Sociologias (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
