Multicultural human rights movement: Brazilian comeback cinema, legal pluralism and the stereotypes of violence

Abstract

The present article aims to identify the relations between the multicultural conception of Human Rights and the audiovisual enunciation in the Cinema of repossession in Brazil. Through a descriptive and exploratory methodological analysis of filmic and bibliographic resources we realize, in the work, that the legal discourse stands out in the various Brazilian audiovisual narratives, especially with regard to the problems of effectiveness of human rights in the peripheries. In order to affirm this hypothesis, the theoretical support is linked to two main axes of the work: the critical analysis of cinema, based especially on the reflections of Ivana Bentes, Esther Hamburger and Fernão Pessoa Ramos; and the observation of the multicultural movement of human rights and legal pluralism in the Brazilian peripheral spaces, through the eyes of Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Antônio Carlos Wolkmer and Joaquim Herrera Flores. From the analysis of the regimes of visuality - the historical, technical and aesthetic conditions of existence of some representative films of the years 1990 - 2010 - and the processes of enunciation or discursivization of human rights in the narratives, we observe different scenarios of solidarity, struggle for citizenship and sociability on the one hand, and, on the other, social exclusion, stereotypes of violence and legal pluralism in the Brazilian peripheries enunciated in the moving images, which erupt reality.
