O ensino do Direito Penal e a seletividade estrutural: a universidade como aparelho ideológico do Estado e reprodutora da violência simbólica sobre os excluídos por meio da pedagogia do opressor

Abstract

The present paper was developed based on the studies of structural selectivity, as well as on the studies of the ideological apparatus of the State from Althusser, especially the University, reaching the concept of Symbolic Violence of Bourdieu, as well as the concept of Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. The main objective of this was to analyze the teaching of Criminal Law as a curricular component that reproduces structural selectivity and social exclusion, through a pedagogy of the oppressor. The method of bibliographic research was used as a methodology. The purpose of the research was to verify a reproduction in the teaching of Criminal Law of the dominant ideology of the State, the one that excludes and discriminates the oppressed and vulnerable peoples and that legitimizes all the action of the repressive and state judicial apparatus against these same people.
