O que é um acordo justo? A percepção de pessoas atingidas e das instituições de justiça e dos Poderes no caso do desastre em Brumadinho (MG)

Abstract

Under the lens of Pierre Bourdieu, the current dissertation argues that social phenomena can be analyzed through symbols, and those who possess the power tend to impose their views and rules on others, promoting symbolic violence. This action takes place within a specific campus, where various actors spread their habitus as if they were universal. Law, especially through its form, which incorporates values such as universality and impersonality, is a means of domination par excellence. Those who master this technique have an advantage in the field of dispute. One application of this form of domination was identified in the Commitment Agreement between the Public Defender's Office of the State of Minas Gerais and the company Vele S.A, being a typical case of this phenomenon. The question was about the perception of justice for the first affected parties who entered into the agreement and for the members of the Justice System and Powers. Through a qualitative methodology, interviews were conducted, and the work suggests, on the one hand, that for this group, the sense of justice is greater than for the affected parties, indicating that the appropriation of the concept of justice depends on strength in the field of dispute. On the other hand, it is not possible to speak of justice in relation to reparations, considering the scope of the work, but rather of partial repair of damages known so far.
