| Sumario: | This article argues the interest of constituting public order as an object / problem of history, that is to say, to historicize the very notion of public order and what derives from it. What matters here is the close relationship between public order as a principle of absolute justification of administrative action, its institutional implementation (judicial, police, military, administrative, legal and regulatory) and social practices that activate moral grammars. The notion of public order, in its emergence and development, has been constructed as something that connects these three dimensions of the production of the social in the contemporary age and in the period that is usually called "liberal", born at the beginning of the 19th century. This function of connection between these three dimensions is also undoubtedly related to its character as a historiographical blind spot. Indeed, the rarity of works on its genealogy as a notion is very surprising given the place it occupies in the juridical, political and social configurations of Western countries. Within the framework of a reflection on politics, political history and the idea of politicization, the proposal developed here identifies public order as a resource of depoliticization, a way of pointing out that in its configuration, there is always a pulse that is precisely political. |
