Abstract

This essay explores the possibility of justice for the wretched of the earth. Using escrevivência (writing the experience/existence) and drawing on the theoretical insights and political praxis of the Assessoria Popular Maria Felipa (APMF, Maria Felipa Advocacy Group)-a Brazilian abolitionist organization led by Black activists-we analyze how the criminal justice system perpetrates violence against our communities and systematically denies them access to justice. Moreover, we examine the concept of Justiça Integral (Full Justice). Rooted in Afro-Brazilian ancestral knowledges, Justiça Integral moves beyond punitive ethics and embraces an ethics of care to create a transformative approach to justice. Finally, we explore pathways to making justice possible for the wretched of the earth.

什么是正义？对巴西刑事司法制度的思考。

这篇文章探讨了为地球上可怜的人伸张正义的可能性。利用escrevivência（撰写经验/存在），并利用巴西废奴主义组织“玛丽亚·费利帕倡导组织”（APMF, Maria Felipa Advocacy Group）的理论见解和政治实践，我们分析刑事司法系统如何对我们的社区实施暴力，并系统性地拒绝他们诉诸司法。此外，我们考察了正义的概念（充分正义）。基于巴西黑人祖先的知识，正义整合超越了惩罚性的道德规范，并拥抱了一种关怀的道德规范，以创造一种变革的正义方法。最后，我们探讨了为地球上可怜的人伸张正义的途径。
