In the Empire of Brazil’s city-court (Rio de Janeiro), a concern with order produced a series of daily interventions by public authorities aiming to target indiscipline. The Termos de Bem Viver [Terms for Living Well] agreed upon at the Police Intendancy and the City Council’s Registros de Infração de Posturas [Records of Violations of the City Code] suggest an urban space marked by punishment and disciplinary techniques. This article seeks to reveal the resistance and the discrepancy between the punitive powers and the crimes committed in order to highlight the generalization inherent to the supervisory perspective, where even those monitoring are monitored by others.Downloads
