SUMMARY:

Marli and Paulo are two siblings who lived in the Baixada Fluminense region, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro State, during the 1970s. In the early hours of October 13, 1979, their lives would be fatally affected by the violence of the penal system, when men who identified themselves as police officers broke into Marli's house to torture and kill Paulo. Immediately after the incident, Marli went to the appropriate police station, denounced the police as responsible for her brother's death and claimed to be able to identify the killers. In the following months, Marli went to police stations and barracks more than thirty times for identification sessions. Her protest, in memory of her brother and his life, and for his recognition as a victim, was closely followed by the newspapers of the time, as well as by feminist and black movements, and gained national and international repercussion. This thesis discusses the ways in which Marli Pereira Soares’s journeys bring into play the inseparability of the struggles against racism and against the penal system in Brazil and, thus, circulate critical elements for the construction of a radical critique of the penal system rooted in the long tradition of Brazilian black rebellion against the mechanisms of domination imposed by the Brazilian ruling classes, since slavery colonialism. In short, how Marli’s struggle contributes to the formation of a Brazilian penal abolitionism. More specifically, the work reflects on how Marli’s struggle, based on her own and her family’s pain, exposes the racialized limits of the common/political binary scheme, a premise of the debates against the violence of the corporate-military dictatorship – to define who its victims were – put into circulation by the liberal-democratic opposition to the regime, while at the same time constituting an emergence of the radical critique of penal violence articulated by the Movimento Negro Unificado (Unified Black Movement – MNU, in the Brazilian acronym). Furthermore, the thesis questions the means by which the position of Marli's struggle is disputed in the processes of constructing memories about state violence during the dictatorship period and as a milestone in the production of a shift in the ways of narrating penal violence. The objective, then, is to produce a discursive cartography, through ethnographic fieldwork, of Marli's struggles and the disputes surrounding the meanings of her subjectivity, Paulo's subjectivity, and penal violence. The field of this work is constituted by the documents in which, at the time, Marli's journeys circulated in the public space, especially journalistic articles, documents from the black movement, and Marli's own account, in her biographical interview, Marli mulher: “tenho pavor de barata, de polícianão”.
