Abstract

This article investigates on how the police speech, materialized into the journalistic speech, contributes to the constitution of a subject-defendant, (re)vealing knowledge and powers that surround our society. For this purpose we made use of the archaeogenealogy by Michel Foucault as the theoretical-methodological instrument, and, as the analysis corpus, we took two journalistic articles, which detail the imprisonment of those arrested for homicide crime. As a result, we identified that the supposed murderer is objectified from historically built truths that tend to conduct the subject to a predetermined place on the trial day.
