Justiça restaurativa: contribuições para a emancipação humana

Abstract

The present article aims to reflect on the contribution of the restorative paradigm for human emancipation. It is the result of a qualitative bibliographical research based on the productions of journals in the area of Social Work linked to graduate programs in the period between 2016-2021. According to the literature review process, it was possible to identify the inefficiency of academic production that makes a relationship between human emancipation and emancipatory educational processes. The absence of this debate in Social Work is notorious. The results point to restorative justice as new practices that can offer effective answers for the solution of conflicts present in human relations. In education, there is the challenge of a necessary process for learning and overcoming moralistic, punitive, and oppressive processes that are still reproduced in human praxis.
