FROM THE SURVIVOR'S SYNDROME TO HAITIAN IMMIGRATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF GOVERNANCE BY NUMBERS

This article deals with the possible involvement of the survivor syndrome by Haitian immigrants as a consequence of number-based governance. In the face of the opening of borders, two situations arise on the one hand, the global perspective, focused on a market logic and, on the other, a local perspective of solidarity in granting the humanitarian visa to the Haitian immigrants that is questioned, for leading to a legal order competition law, which creates serious social problems. In the labor relations, it shows a weakening of the state, and other regulatory authorities, causing a dispersion of authority and power, and objectifying the Haitian immigrant as an instrument for the realization of work and profit, that is, the questioning of the subject (Arendt). From this context that involves social relations, the present work aims to study the impact of governance by numbers in labor relations and, specifically, to analyze the occurrence of the survivor syndrome (Lifton and Olson) from that logic, based on the systemic method of Niklas Luhmann, it is perceived that the search for numbers in a rampant way tends to trigger the survivor syndrome in Haitian immigrants, lacking a sense of belonging to the organization, which, as a consequence ends up influencing the productivity and profitability of the market, making this immigrant only a means to achieve an end.
