Atravessar ruas, transpor abismos, descolonizar indivíduos, saberes e poderes: direitos humanos em perspectiva no curso de direito da UEMS/Dourados-MS-(1997- 2019)

Abstract

This doctoral thesis investigates, from an interdisciplinary approach, especially with references from History and Law, the facts, people and institutions that idealized and built the Law Course at the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS), Dourados Unit, in the period between 1997/2019, whose general objective is to understand the process of construction of knowledge in the history of the Course, from its present, with a focus on Human Rights from a decolonizing perspective. The research addresses, first, the UEMS institution itself and the political context of Mato Grosso do Sul before and after the division/creation of the State, in order to analyze and understand the causes that drove the birth of UEMS in the format and purposes it has and, consequently, the reasons for the creation and implementation of the Law course studied, in its particularities and characteristics, training of the teaching staff and the impact produced on the student body. Past and current pedagogical projects will also be analyzed, especially with regard to the curriculum, the National Curricular Guidelines for Law courses, in order to understand specifically the Dourados Law Course, in order to defend the thesis in which the counter hegemonic perspective of Human Rights must be inherent to a course proposal with a decolonial vision and identity. To this end, in addition to bibliographic studies, the analysis of documentary sources will be used, such as norms, pedagogical projects, journalistic clippings, minutes of meetings, official publications, among others, whose writing methodology is exploratory, qualitative, critical and deductive. Finally, we seek to deliver conclusions that highlight the historical construction of the Dourados Law Course.
