Mediação de conflitos e emergência normativa

Abstract

This article restores the main discussions that took place during the development of a doctoral thesis in anthropology of law, in which it was tried to answer on the possibility, the conditions and the characteristics of the emergence of norms in processes of mediation of conflicts, within a framework of social pluralism and legal. Based on a methodology of qualitative research, based on a survey and bibliographical, documentary and legislative review, associated to the analysis of concrete cases of mediation, the hypothesis was confirmed that in such processes, and due to characteristics intrinsic to mediation, such as non-verticality, the extension of rhetorical space, openness to internormativity, and care for social bonds, there is the creation of sanctionable and coercive norms that, although not necessarily referring to official law, form the broad sphere of juridicity. The thesis also points to an ongoing reconfiguration of social regulation and access to justice, between official and unofficial justice, from the plurality of actors, arenas of participation, procedures and, finally, rights.
