Resumo: | The goal of this paper is to show, mainly through the work of Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida, a certain ambiguity in the relation between the concepts of law and violence, and to pose it as a problem, yet the solution to this problem is not to be reached in this paper, needing to be developed elsewhere. First we will present the concept of violence as problematic, distinguishing it from other issues such as power and force. Through Benjamin, we will present the distinction between means and ends as thought by legal positivism and natural law, as well as the distinction established by the author between the violence that institutes law and the one which maintains it. We will exemplify those questions through a brief discussion of the police institution and of the “autos de resistência”. Next, we will show the reasons why Benjamin ends up condemning legal power, seeing in it a vicious circularity, in light of which it shows itself as an immediate manifestation of violence, called by the author “mythic” violence. We will end this paper with a brief suggestion about the possibility of thinking a solution to the established problem. |

Em primeiro lugar, apresentaremos o conceito de violência como problemático, distinguindo-o de outros como poder e força. Com base em Benjamin, apresentaremos a distinção entre meios e fins conforme pensada pelo positivismo e pelo jusnaturalismo, bem como a distinção estabelecida pelo autor entre a violência instituinte e a violência mantenedora do direito. Exemplificaremos essas questões mediante uma breve discussão da instituição policial e do instituto dos “autos de resistência”. A seguir, exporemos as razões pelas quais Benjamin acaba por condenar o poder jurídico, reconhecendo nele uma circularidade viciosa, a partir da qual esse poder se mostra como uma manifestação imediata da violência, que o autor chama de violência “mítica”. Terminaremos com uma breve sugestão quanto à possibilidade de pensar-se uma solução para o problema apresentado..Magalhães, José Antonio RegoMagalhães, Juliana Neuenschwander2016-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufpr.br/direito/article/view/4747610.5380/rfdufpr.v61i3.47476Revista da Faculdade de Direito UFPR; v. 61, n. 3 (2016); 299 – 3212236-72840104-331510.5380/rfdufpr.v61i3reponame:Revista da Faculdade de Direito UFPR (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)instacron:UFPRporhttps://revistas.ufpr.br/direito/article/view/47476/29836Direitos autorais 2016 Revista da Faculdade de Direito UFPRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-12-16T20:03:11Zoai:revistas.ufpr.br:article/47476Revistahttp://ojs.c3sl.ufpr.br/ojs2/index.php/direitoPUBhttp://ojs.c3sl.ufpr.br/ojs/index.php/direito/oai||revistadireito@ufpr.br2236-72840104-3315opendoar:2016-12-16T20:03:11Revista da Faculdade de Direito UFPR (Online) - Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR)false |
