GALINDO, Dolores; LEMOS, Flávia Cristina Silveira    RODRIGUES, Francisco Xavier Freire. COPA 2014: the biopolitical production of a city in which the exception became the rule. []. , 14, 29, pp.87-99. ISSN 1519-549X.

This article aims to put on a set of practical problem-economic, legal, social, economic, and cultural policies that are occurring in the name of organizing mega events, especially by preparing for them in terms of infrastructure and dispossession, removal, overthrow of buildings and privatization of airports and roads, outsourcing services, construction of roads and bridges, increased roads and subway, avenues of expansion and renovation of facilities, construction of hotels and stadiums, taken from people and entire communities of neighborhoods and spaces for speculation and profit potential before, during and after the completion of mega events. In the text, we describe the specific situation of the city of Cuiabá and what is happening in the name of her preparation for the World Cup, having been chosen as one of the host cities. Problematize these interventions in the field of discipline, biopolitics and security.
