THE SALESMAN, O SOFRIMENTO DO IMPOTENTE E A INVISIBILIZAÇÃO DA VÍTIMA NO PROCESSO CRIMINAL
Abstract
It is well known that in the Brazilian criminal process there are two indispensable agents: the offender and the offended, the latter being succumbed to and instrumentalized the moment the state enters the legal relationship. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to analyze the film The Salesman (2016), in order to make explicit aspects of the trauma resulting from the position of victim assumed in the commission of the crime, and based on this, to outline a critique of the invisibilization of the victim in the criminal process. This research is the result of a bibliographical review, based on the ideas of Alline Pedra Jorge, Howard Zehr, Elizabeth Elliott, Antonio Garcia-Pablos de Molina and Luiz Gomes, as well as experience reports carried out during the activities of the Philosophy, Law and Audiovisual Research Laboratory (LAPEFIDA/CNPQ/UNEB). It can be understood, then, that there is an obstinate quest to penalize as a method of retribution and crime prevention, but, on the other hand, the subjects who occupy the conflicting situation do not have the opportunity to restore, in fact, what was transgressed, in addition to dealing with revictimization processes carried out by society and the state itself.
