Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the typification of the conduct practiced in
reality TV programs as criminal conduct against honor, especially in the context of
duality between reality and fiction, as well as the mechanisms of conflict promotion
used by the program, proposing to contribute to the legal analysis of the practiced
conduct and the effectiveness of the use of criminal law as ultima ratio. To this end,
the starting point will be the exposure of the theoretical and doctrinal aspects of
crimes against honor, pointing out the typological and doctrinal basis of the classical
definition and identification of the crimes circumscribed by this species.
Subsequently, an approach will be made about the reality shows, presenting a brief
history about their creation, consolidation, duality between life exposed and pseudo reality and the mechanisms identified by specialized doctrine for the promotion of
internal conflicts among participants. Finally, before reaching its conclusion, the work
will also expose the context to which it proposes, with an analysis based on alleged
crimes against honor committed in the context of reality shows, built by the conduct
practiced, its typification, as well as the influence of the organizers in its practice. The
explanatory and exploratory method is used, leaning towards a critical methodological observation of reality, by means of bibliographic-documentary
research to obtain data.
