“PROJETO MEDIAR É DIVINO!” EM CONTEXTOS DE LAICIDADE

Abstract

The present theoretic-empiric research analyses the “Project Mediation is Divine!” and its implementation in the “Mediation Space of Sacred Family”, in Goiânia, Goiás. The work aims to assess the place of this project in the inter-relation between the Tribunal of Justice of Goiás (TJ-GO) and religion, in order to share functions to promote the solution of conflicts by means of agreement in mediations before the proceedings. The research also aims to study the importance of the role of the State and Church, two social institutions apparently split by the contemporaneous secularization based on the law of laicity. It is understood that the religious pluralism and the religious plausibility sustain the dynamic of Brazilian laicity, characteristically relative. It is also understood that Law does not discipline only behaviors in different spaces of society in the name of social cohesion, but ensures the institutional coexistence between the laic and religious relation, in order to construct the pragmatic of culture and peace. The main theoretical framework is the conceptual basic notions of Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann about the social construction of reality, associated with the semiotic interpretation of culture and religion of Clifford Geertz. These two theoretical tendencies, built by the empiric investigation, assessed the social structure and the cultural relations of the individuals. Once they face this structure or the structure of the institutions, at the same time, they analyzed their acts in their social relations, registering that this dialectic process or motion of double aspect promotes fundamental mutations in society due to the force of individual conscience (the community). From this conceptual framework, it was used the nonparticipant observation and applying the theoretical notions of Maria Laura P.B. Franco and some Brazilian authors about interpretative technics of content analysis and discourse analysis in the messages between the TJ-GO and the “Mediation Space of Sacred Family”. It is considered that the “Project Mediation is Divine!” consists in a phenomenon of social pragmatic transversality, crossing the normativity of state laicity and the normality of Christian religious tradition and non-religious in a fundamental dialectic process. Aiming to a laic-religious innovation that evaluates possible to conciliate the ordering justification of the past with plausible individualized, secular and religious experiences in a joint, democratic and cooperative effort to perform the western world global proposal of development of culture of social peacemaking by the pacific conflict solutions. The boundaries are broken and open ways to a new religiosity of the XXI century: the peace and social justice – that has the religious plausibility as a supplying mechanism of sense and social cohesion in the secular and laic Brazilian State.
