This article, which has a bibliographic and documentary analysis bias, aims to analyze the episode known as “The Paraisópolis Massacre”, when the police operation deemed “Pancadão”, which was carried out by the Military Police of the State of São Paulo, culminated in the trampling of nine people and their consequent deaths, after a riot among the participants of a baile funk that was taking place near where the aforementioned police operation was happening. To this end, the theoretical inputs used were the ideas of the philosopher Judith Butler on the structures of social recognition that dictate which lives are worthy of mourning and which are not.
