GONCALVES, Hebe Signorini. On death and life: the production of bíos in adolescents in conflict with the law. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2016, vol.6, n.spe, pp. 65-84. ISSN 2238-152X.

This text seeks to understand the reasons that make citizens wish for, offer themselves to, or cause death in others. Using concepts from Agamben, Wacquant and Foucault, we examine situations experienced with adolescents who have committed an infraction. It is an essay through which the ethics of the researcher are questioned.
