"THE RIGHT FOUND IN CONFLICT CIRCLES: RESTORATIVE JUSTICE IN THE LIGHT OF DECOLONIAL EPISTEMOLOGY".
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE – DECOLONIALITY – CRITICAL THEORY OF RACE – AFRICAN COSMOGONY – LEGAL PLURALISM.
The research is about access to justice, the interweaving between restorative justice and anti-discrimination law. In this sense, we understand that it is essential to show which social intersections prevent access to rights. In the face of preliminary intersectional reflections, it must be stated that in this research we will discuss practices applied by servants of one of the State systems, the Judiciary, which represents, within the paradigm of modernity, one of the guarantors of rights. Therefore, it should be noted that the updates of practices of racism, gender violence, class, ageism, ableism, among others that the rationality of oppression propagates, calls us to infer that we are still facing the update of colonialism, therefore, before the paradigm of coloniality, whose experiences of pain are made invisible by the mobilization of discourses such as meritocracy, racial democracy, among others. In this sense, the question that arises in resonance with the decolonial perspective, therefore, is: how can we guarantee rights in this field of action, that is, how can we instrumentalize the State, which is the result of colonialism, to develop strategies to reduce social inequalities and to implementation of new rights.
