Disciplina e mulheres encarceradas: uma análise da perversão do direito através do poder disciplinar na Penitenciária Feminina Madre Pelletier/RS

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to verify, from a theoretical review and empirical studies of semi-structured interviews with women deprived of liberty at the Madre Pelletier Women's Penitentiary in Porto Alegre/RS, if it is possible to perceive the presence of perversions of law, a concept coined by José Rodrigo Rodriguez in the book “Direito das Lutas”. The research departs from critical theory in emancipatory and democratic alignment, aiming to dispute the right as a mechanism that translates the social struggle. The theme is approached from an analysis of gender theories, adopting the concept of “sex-gender system” developed by Seyla Benhabib, theories of critical criminology and feminist critical criminology, in authors such as Soraia Mendes and Carmen Hein de Campos, who translated this space into a field of analysis that considers women as subjects. Added to an analysis of empirical research through semi-structured interviews with women deprived of liberty and employees of the Madre Pelletier Penitentiary, analyzing the discipline in an analysis with the theories of Augusto Thompson and Michel Foucault. Finally, verifying the adequacy of the reality of female incarceration and the discipline exercised in the place with the theory of José Rodrigo Rodriguez.
