Resumo: | This article is based on the novel The Kindly Ones, by Jonathan Littell, and its main objective is to explore the experiences of its main character, Maximilien Aue, a Nazi officer, an SS member, a jurist, and a juris doctor, who on several occasions assumed the condition of executioner in one of the Einsatzgruppen that acted in the rear of the German front during the War against the Soviet Union. This study seeks to explore the relationship of this character with a political regime marked by authoritarianism and the erosion of the legal forms that characterize a Rechtsstaat – metaphorized in the figure of the Behemoth, in the interpretation given by Franz Neumann. The methodological structure is guided by strategies of approximation between law and literature, in order to allow, from the construction of a common hermeneutic situation, different ways of relating to the truth established in these two fields of knowledge to access new interpretations in order to analyze the intricate relationship between law and authoritarianism. The outcome, starting from Max Aue’s tragic experience, illuminated the fate reserved for those who, as people or individuals, had awakened the Erinyes from their benevolent sleep. |

Busca-se analisar o relacionamento dessa personagem com um regime político marcado pelo autoritarismo e pela erosão das formas jurídicas que caracterizam um Rechtsstaat. Regime este metaforizado na figura do Beemote, na interpretação que lhe dá Franz Neumann. A estrutura metodológica é guiada pelas estratégias de aproximação entre o direito e a literatura de modo a permitir que, a partir da construção de uma situação hermenêutica comum, os diferentes modos de se relacionar com a verdade que se estabelecem nesses dois campos de conhecimento possibilitem novos acessos interpretativos para refletir sobre a paradoxal relação que existe entre direito e autoritarismo. O desfecho, a partir da experiência trágica de Max Aue, iluminou o destino reservado àqueles que, enquanto povos ou indivíduos, despertaram as Erínias de seu sono benevolente.Rede Brasileira Direito e Literatura (RDL)2019-06-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/article/view/59010.21119/anamps.51.277-316ANAMORPHOSIS - International Journal of Law and Literature; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2019): janeiro-junho; 277-316ANAMORPHOSIS – Revista Internacional de Derecho y Literatura; Vol. 5 Núm. 1 (2019): janeiro-junho; 277-316ANAMORPHOSIS – Revue internationale de droit et littérature; Vol. 5 No 1 (2019): janeiro-junho; 277-316ANAMORPHOSIS - Rivista Internazionale di Diritto e Letteratura; V. 5 N. 1 (2019): janeiro-junho; 277-316ANAMORPHOSIS - Revista Internacional de Direito e Literatura; v. 5 n. 1 (2019): janeiro-junho; 277-3162446-80882446-808810.21119/anamps.51.2019reponame:Anamorphosis (Porto Alegre)instname:Rede Brasileira Direito e Literatura (RDL)instacron:RDLporenghttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/article/view/590/pdfhttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/article/view/590/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2019 ANAMORPHOSIS - Revista Internacional de Direito e Literaturainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Rafael Tomaz de2019-07-17T16:02:18Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/590Revistahttp://rdl.org.br/seer/index.php/anampsONGhttps://periodicos.rdl.org.br/anamps/oairevista@rdl.org.br||henriete@rdl.org.br2446-80882446-8088opendoar:2019-07-17T16:02:18Anamorphosis (Porto Alegre) - Rede Brasileira Direito e Literatura (RDL)false |
