Occupying the borders and reflecting the present

The proliferation of street demonstrations that emerge in the Brazilian scenario transform the ways we question the present. The inauguration of a new moment in recent history opens the horizon of possible. It is in this current time that resistances enroll themselves and where social struggles, facing the processes of exploitation, oppression and domination of capitalism, have new territories to fight. This current adjectival repeatedly as new does not appear out of the blue, but from the agencies that were made with the different lines that compound the strata plot of sedimented power in the humanity history, in their cities and in their officers devices. This article seeks to problematize this immediate present by reassembling the history of some hard-lines that define our current institutions, exposing contemporaries strategies of disciplinary and control power exercise. Through insights released by Foucault about a new world order, and the revised concept of Border developed by Mezzadra and Neilson, we look for historical and current events to paint this cartography.
