Abstract
In this essay I hypothesize that the racial, gender, class and sexuality orders limit the potencial listening of the formulations presented in the public sphere by social movements and confine the discussion on the grounds of legal technicality. I argue that the greater permeability of the public sphere, in the last 30 years, to the arrival of subordinate counterpublics began to produce and reinforce contentious agendas of definitions of responsibility, crime and violence. This provokes a contrast with the production of political and juridical definitions that are usually subject to an extremely selective discursive scenario in terms of agendas and agents.
