A relação entre direito e literatura à conflitante questão animal : uma análise dos personagens Flush e Baleia

Abstract

This work deals with the problematic issue of how animals are designed in contemporary society which are seen as things, property and currency trading. As the starting point for its development, address the problem of research, being this: From the analysis of the similarity between law and literature and forward to reading Flush of a dog Memory of Virginia Woolf and Vidas Secas by the dog Baleia, Graciliano Ramos, it is conceivable to rethink the animal in conjecture right? So, first, treat yourself to understand the similarities between Law and Literature, drawing a line where it is demonstrated that, compared to the Animal Law figure, literature is a viable way to understand the existence of non-human, in this interdisciplinary conjecture prevail dialogue between law and literature, through their similarities and how these areas are faced on the animal figure. After all, if they refer to two different looks, two lenses are used separately for the same object. So, this work is a key objective to demonstrate the possibility that, instead of looking at nonhumans by appearances, can be observed with depth, for the essence of the condition of the animals, to look them seeking what they actually are, but also intends to achieve with this research, reflection on the relationship between law and literature and point out how your lenses to animal matter, are different. While the law is related to the common sense, in a cartesian heritage, literature puts the problem in another way and begins to glimpse the animal in exchange relationship with the human being, pointing to the fact that there is a relationship between humans and non- human, looking at him as a being endowed with consciousness and will, regardless of the social context in which the animal is inserted. Through Flush and Baleia we'll be observed that Literature is a possible tool to read the animal issues by law. For this study, it has the theoretical arguments from Dworkin (2000) and Derrida (2002), as well as content analysis, made from literary works - Flush, Memories of a dog, of Virginia Woolf (2010), and Vidas Secas, of Graciliano Ramos (2014). Finally, present shall be another point of view of the animals, so much to say that the law, in the current format is not able to supply all the trouble that shrouded the problems, and to expand the range of understandings and see in the literature, ample a means for analyzing the reflection of the condition of life, human and non-human. A lens, more accurate able to look clearly for those who here are objects of study.
