The brazilian process’ “Water eyes”

Abstract

With the lenses of the literature of Conceição Evaristo, and her book Water Eyes, it was analysed the brazilian process, from the Rafael Braga’s case. The objective was to demonstrate, from the literature, the importance of listening to all of the voices inside the process. In order to do that, it was used the phenomenological-hermeneutics method, since the interpretations are made of a group of comprehensions, that belongs to a specific historycal moment. The essay was divided in a chapter to analyse the book of Conceição Evaristo e another that explores the brazilian process, from Rafael Braga’s and Breno Borge’s cases. The results, in the end, pointed in the direction of a brazilian judiciary strongly selective, wich speech, connected to the theoretical common sense of the jurists, insists in closing its eyes when interpreting the law and in repeating dehumanized speeches, of wich, many times, the characters of Conceição Evaristo’s stories were victims themselves.
