O enredo prisional em Angola: soberanias duais na disciplina do corpo colonial

A análise das estruturas de aprisionamento necessita de atender ao quadro institucional no qual se encontra enquadrado. A compreensão das finalidades às quais reporta apenas pode ser captada na alusão a um quadro teórico e conceptual que não se cinja à apreensão restrita das suas mais evidentes manifestações. O enredo da Angola colonial, no qual nos focamos, imprime a necessidade de nos afastarmos dos recorrentes estudos que tendem a evidenciar a brutalidade da prática repressiva no interior das prisões, menosprezando, por iminência, uma análise que capte as características longitudinais que ditam as estruturas administrativas das suas bases materiais. Assente na defesa de um alargamento conceptual das práticas de confinamento, pretende esta investigação contribuir para os estudos que atendem à necessidade destes estabelecimentos serem analisados à luz de outras instâncias, nomeadamente o trabalho forçado e o incipiente poder infraestrutural do estado colonial. De forma a alcançar tal propósito esta dissertação concebe uma análise que contrapõe às finalidades impressas nos códigos legais dos estatutos criminais coloniais os relatórios arquivísticos. Estes dão conta da prática que regia o modus operandi destes estabelecimentos e atestam a debilidade morfológica do poder estatal colonial. É face a tal que se apresenta, numa última análise, as instâncias que nos permitem pensar o enredo edificado pelas empresas concessionárias no território colonial numa relação de analogia com a prisão colonial. Tal comparação é aqui edificada pelo recurso ao estudo de caso da Companhia de Diamantes de Angola, problematizando-se o modo como esta empresa substituía o poder do estado colonial ao implementar políticas públicas de gestão e controlo das massas trabalhadoras que se encontravam sob a sua alçada.
