Abstract

Abstract: The present article has as main objective to investigate the consequences of the implementation of the new technologies in the contemporary urban context, with special focus on the fortified enclave figure. The article seeks to discuss interactions between law, insecurity, fear, segregation and consumption in Brazilian cities. Regarding the methodological aspects, a bibliographical revision was chosen, using as its source researchers in the area of Social Sciences, Philosophy and Law. The basic theories used come from Robert Castel's sociological research on social insecurity; Zygmunt Bauman, on the relations between segregation, consumption and postmodernity; and Teresa Pires do Rio Caldeira, referring to the fortified enclaves. As conclusions, there is an erosion of civil and social protections, against the technological dynamics of modern cities. With advances in surveillance mechanisms, based on possible breaches of privacy, the fortified enclave and the smart city have become Lawdigital panoptical.
