“I DID IT IN THE IMPULSE OF A NOBLE CRIME, IF NOT OF FEELING OF OUTRAGED HONOR”: the violence against women based on the analysis of the auto crimes of minor injuries of the district of Bragança-PA (1910-1920)
Abstract
The Comarca de Bragança-PA, established in 1839, is one of the oldest and most dynamic in the present state of Pará. Over its approximately 180 years of operation, this has accumulated in its Permanent Collection or Historical Archive a vast documentary quantity, which constitutes an indispensable instrument for understanding the history of the paraense judiciary, its servants, magistrates and jurisdictions in different historical contexts. Among these records are the Small Injury Crimes Records dating from the second decade of the twentieth century. The present work, turning to these criminal processes, which according to the current organizational structure, were the responsibility of the Correctional Court, aims to analyze the mechanisms from which, during the procedural process, a final “truth” is produced, about the fact that gives rise to the complaint. To this end, the narratives attributed to the various subjects that emerge in the case file are used, both those that are involved in moving the disciplinary gears of public justice (judges, delegates, clerks, officers, among others), and those that resorted to the institution, as a strategy for resolution of their demands, or before it were compulsorily taken to provide clarifications. It is understood that the process of construction of this “truth”, to be taken into account in the act of drafting the sentence, legitimizes speeches that, in turn, present traces of practices, values and structures that characterized Bragantine society in this context. This shows how the judiciary, as a dynamic normative institution, is intimately interwoven with life in society.
