In the expression attributed to the "biggest environmental catastrophe in Brazil", notably referring to the consequences tied to the collapse of the Samarco mining dam in the municipality of Mariana/MG in 2015, who would hesitate about its colossal proportions? Here the suspicion about the word "tragedy" evokes the discussion about [hyper]mediatized tragedies. Thus, this paper aims, on other bases, to cogitate the "Mariana tragedy" and show that interpretative readings can help to decipher strategies of territorial domination, through the weakening of its political meaning. To this end, we make use of theoretical and conceptual investigations, capable of questioning the disaster, placing it in a tripartite diagram, articulated from the word tragedy itself, from technique, and from territory. The conceptualization of the term territory becomes central to the recognition of its implications, whether they are physical, involving disputes over available resources, or in the social and historical processes of subjectivity production and construction of the subject ex post facto. The question that arises is: how are these social forces [de]activated, at the instant of technical breakdown? The instrumental reasoning of thought, discussed through Heidegger's writings on the essence of technique, leads us to recognize the imbrications of these procedures with the modes of (unlimited) expansion of capital reproduction at the expense of making available situated forms of existence. In a sense, the processes of modernization allow us to recognize characteristic traces of this reading of the being of technique, bringing them closer to historical processes, of accumulation, disproportion and violence. The effects of control measures (government) on the life and death of the affected people were perceived, approaching the meaning of the philosophical notions of biopolitics and necropolitics. Thus, we argue that the district that engenders the device of enunciation about the tragedy, captured by the large mining corporations, may become, simultaneously, the territory of production and protection of life and of the habitat.
