SILVA, Divino José da. Performance society and the government of deficient life. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.70, pp.45-71.  Epub Feb 06, 2022. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v34n70a2020-56419.

In the performance society, each individual is responsible for making it profitable the body, the time, the creativity and the imagination. In this game, life was subjected to administrative calculation in order to eliminate negativity, risks and ways of resistance that prevent the realization of the capital and its communication. It is from this perspective that the alterity of the disabled, who resists or delays the new order, is denied as its negativity constitutes an obstacle to the logic of performance, efficiency and profitability. In view of the aforementioned context, we seek to think about two questions: What resonance do alterity and negativity of disabled bodies have on the culture of life's performance and entrepreneurship? What life is there in the deficient bodies that face the biopower? These issues will be addressed throughout the article with reference to some scenes - journalistic chronicles - which we freely named literary images.

Keywords : Performance Society; Disabled Body; Entrepreneurship; Entrepreneur of oneself.
