Abstract

SANTOS, Maria Fernanda Cardoso. Ideology of punishment, penalty and criminalization in rights violation combat policies: paradoxes of the struggles for recognition and human rights. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.38, pp. 35-43. ISSN 1519-549X.

The objective of this study is to reflect on the punitive logic inherent in the context of the struggle for the recognition of human rights. It questions the conditions that make possible the articulation between the discourse of human rights, which criticizes punitive logic, and the use of punishment for violators. The theoretical framework for this reflection is based on studies by Nietzsche, Foucault and Wacquant, regarding the ideology of punishment, penalization and criminalization to relate it to the production (most of them by Brazilian authors) who question the paradoxes in the struggle for the recognition of human rights. One of the reflections made by this study points that, today, the struggles and the social movements in the human rights field are going through an increasing judicialization, due to this logic which criminalizes the violations, placing them in the state, judiciary and police field.

Keywords : Ideology; punitive logic; prison system; human rights; struggle for recognition.
