A nova arte de julgar: análise dos discursos dos julgadores do tribunal de justiça do pará na aplicação da medida socioeducativa de internação

Abstract

This study analyzes the speech of the judges of the State of Pará Court of Justice, on the enforcement of the socio-educational measure of detention, in order to understand how the practice of government may or may not interfere with justice actions. As a theoretical background, it assumes the studies of Michael Foucault in "The Birth of Biolytic" (2008) and its lessons about the state racism, as well as from the same author studies in the book "In Defense of Society" (2010), coupled with the contributions of Delouse (2003), on the understanding that the true law is not the law, but jurisprudence. For the construction of the results, the study makes a model of analysis, following the dialectical method. As the research object, the study selected seventy-three judgments of second instance, produced between 2005 and 2014, that applies deprivation of liberty to adolescents accused of committing offenses. The present study investigates what the purpose of socio-educational measures of detention and as the official speeches, legitimizing criminal law, interface with the measure that promotes imprisonment of poor adolescents. In this context, it uses the theoretical support of critical criminology, mainly the contributions of Alessandro Barata, Loic Wacquant, Raúl Zaffaroni and Juarez Cirino dos Santos, which helps to reflect the penal device that promotes the imprisonment of adolescents, understanding these as dangerous class. Faced with these questions, this paper is composed of three chapters. The first is dedicated to conceptual reflection about the new art of governing and guiding rationales of public law, following Foucault's teachings, especially the legal and deductive and radical utilitarian rationales, as well as the study of the theory of capital human that is anchored in the American neoliberalism. The second chapter analyzes the official discourse legitimizing punishment and its reflection on the educational measures, regarding the paradox of socio-educational and punishment, seeking to reflect what the purpose of the detention measure, in the face of the new art of governing. The third chapter presents the analysis of empirical research on the discourse of judges and discusses which rationality is adopted in the application of detention measure.
