Hendíadis direito-justiça em Jeremias 22,1-5 na atuação de assistentes sociais no 'SUAS': uma experiência de pesquisa-ação, 2021-2023

Abstract

The object of this study is the relationship between the perspective of law and justice in Jeremias 22,1-5 and the work of the Social Worker. The objective is to know to what extent the right-justice hendiadys in Jeremias 22,1-5 has an impact on the performance of social workers, since it is assumed that such hendiadys is an element of analysis of the performance of these professionals in the Unified System of Social Assistance - SUAS. The problem question is: to what extent does the hendiadys right-justice in Jeremias 22,1-5 affect the performance of the Social Worker in SUAS? The answer was possible through theoretical, bibliographical and qualitative research, with a semistructured interview and action-research strategy, approved by CEP n. 4,612,476, and use of the IRaMuTeQ software. The methodological details make up Chapter 1, necessary in view of the challenges of the debate about the mediation of Social Work and religion, which calls for discussion with an immersion research. In Chapter 2 we expose biblical exegesis, we unravel law and justice in the prophetic context of Jeremiah 22,1-5, forming a hendiadys: law-justice, which expresses, by two linked nouns, an idea that would be represented from the use of each which in isolation, where each one characterizes the other, but expressing a single meaning. In Chapter 3, we discuss the modern conception of law and justice, we establish the hermeneutic bridge with the pericope of Jeremiah 22,1-5, we address the right to social assistance and the SUAS as its guarantor, we present the meaning of law and justice for social workers and how these professionals perform them. As a result, the research showed that for social workers the law must be regulated and it is the law itself, but it is also the protection of the vulnerable in a similar situation to the foreign, orphan and widow. Moreover, it is the execution of the right for themselves, which reverberates in the condition of executor, mediator and enabler of the other's right. The right-justice hendiadys is also characterized as such in the conception of the social workers, but the contradictory reality presents it as far from the empowerment of the vulnerable. We conclude that the hypothesis is confirmed and the hendiadys asserts itself as an element of analysis of the performance of social workers, the Social Assistance policy and the Social Worker as a subject of law in the scope of the professional ethical political project. The applicability of the law cannot be the only means for the execution of the right, as some need it more and differently than others. The element of justice must, obligatorily, mediate the application of the law so that there are more humane and solidary relationships, aimed at the good of the community. The justice of Jeremiah 22,1-5 is a justice that emanates from Yhwh, from God himself, who is immanent in every human being, regardless of an institutional religion. There is a humanist principle, which is not assistentialism, which drives us to the right-justice desired by all humanity
