Caminhos da revolta: Albert Camus e o sentido trágico da justiça

Abstract

The research proposes a discussion about the meaning of justice and the contemporary Brazilian political situation, from a genealogy of revolt, according to the work of Algerian Albert Camus. Faced with the context of grave political and moral polarization, the feeling of absurdity in society expands and justice is evoked to deny the other, losing its power of revolted affirmation. Starting from the contributions of Camus and using the music Caminhos de Abebe Bikila, and the movie Bacurau, by Mendonça and Dornelles, the proposition of a tragic sense of justice will be elaborated, in which the resistance revolted in the absurd, without wishing to eliminate it, defends life and overcomes the dominant nihilism.
