On Foucault and Brazilian Urbanismo: a genealogy of city planning in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (c. 1850s–1945)
This article identifies and discusses some of the ideas of Michel Foucault and applies them to the history of Brazilian city planning. It is argued and shown that the theoretical framework developed in his work provides a useful insight for the understanding of the discourse on city planning in Brazil. I discuss concepts created by Foucault such as discipline and bio-power applying them to the planning history of mainly Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, but also providing insights on Recife, analysing episodes of interventions in Brazilian cities.
