THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOTHERHOOD, SOCIAL REPRODUCTION AND NEOLIBERALISM IN THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL POLICY OF CARE FOR INCARCERATED AND RELEASED FROM THE PRISON SYSTEM WOMEN

This article aims to understand the dialectical relations between the discourse of the National Policy for Attention to Women in Situations of Deprivation of Liberty and Egresses from the Prison System (PNAMPE), neoliberalism and social reproduction. The capitalist State is understood here in the Marxist perspective, as the political consensus of the masses produced to meet the material and historical needs of the dominant classes, aiming at social control by dampening the real capitalist social conflict: that of classes. In times of cyclical crises of capital, the ruling classes make use of ideological discourses such as those of neoconservatism, in order to guarantee social control and allocate women, especially black and poor, to reproductive work, guaranteeing social reproduction in the face of budget cuts in policies. Seeking to understand the relationship between social reproduction and neoliberalism with the discourse of PNAMPE, it uses the theoretical-methodological proposal of Critical Discourse Analysis (ACD), in Norman Fairclough. The results show that the prison system serves to the regulation of the capitalist labor market and PNAMPE contributes to the domination and social regulation by the dominant classes, ensuring that social reproduction is assigned to women deprived of liberty, especially those who become mothers.
