Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the dismantling of public policies, particularly those related to health and social assistance. With a post-structuralist inspiration, and situated in the field of Social Psychology, this discussion questions how that dismantling has occurred, considering it as a dynamic process that is inherent to the production of policies. By means of the cartographic method, it has been possible to address materials that have emerged as hints to understand that process. There is a tension in the very formulation of those policies aiming at replacing previous models that have not been extinguished with the incorporation of SUS and SUAS to the Constitution. The latter is characterized by the emptying of guiding concepts of those policies, such as the notions of territory and vulnerability. This emptying potentiates the emergence of a new governmental logic within the public policies, by means of not only regulation, conduct normalization, and criminalization of a certain population category, but also through necropolitics, aiming at introducing a death policy in the democratic game.
