About

(Des)troços: Journal of Radical Thought (e-ISSN 2763-518X) is a semi-annual electronic journal with open access and continuous publication. It is affiliated with the research group "The State of Exception in Contemporary Brazil: Towards a Critical Reading of the Emergency Argument in the National Political-Legal Scenario" from the Department of Labor Law and Introduction to the Study of Law at the Faculty of Law of the Federal University of Minas Gerais.
Our editorial line proposes to brush against the grain the philosophical tradition and give voice to underground or marginalized currents of thought. We seek to promote a radical and interdisciplinary critique of the discourses that have shaped and continue to shape the construction of Law and the State in the West. These discourses, based on authoritarian views of politics, conceal structures and mechanisms of domination, such as gender, class, race, and sexuality, which ultimately normalize exception and legitimize the violence of political and legal power.

The journal accepts papers in continuous flow for the two issues of the annual volume, in addition to contributions to thematic dossiers.
