THE TRINITY AND GLORY OF THE MODERN STATE analysis through the prism of June 2013 events

Abstract

This article aims to bring a political-theological analysis of the state since the events of June 2013. These events were decisive for the understanding of Brazilian politics, as they question the ways of life expected in a city dynamic and, also, the ways of organizing politics in its liberal democracy. An important point of this text is to present the relationship between two poles of the state (sovereignty and biopolitics) as a determined Trinitarian theology, something already evidenced by the philosopher Giorgio Agamben. The hypothesis is that June unveils the performance of the government machine. With this perspective, this article methodologically analyzes some spellings, such as graffiti, posters and banners, made since the agambean provocations. This article is structured into a few parts: i) an introduction taking up the technique  as a problem in June 2013; ii) the analysis of the relations between trinity and the modern state; iii) the presentation of inoperability at the center of the state's government machine; and iv) the relationship between the attempts to cover the state's anarchic void, using some acclaiming devices, and the tracks of June  which  are potent in their inoperative capacity.
