Abstract
The following article considers the relations between literature and criminology based on the criminological tradition of Roberto Lyra and other interpreters of Brazilian structural violence in Machado de Assis. Based on an analysis of the novel Via Ápia by Geovani Martins, we reveal the context surrounding the implementation of Police Pacifying Units (UPPs) in the Rocinha neighborhood. The daily lives of Martins’ five young protagonists demonstrate the various consequences of such a project on the lives of the residents of the favelas in which the units were installed: the effects on the trade of illicit substances, the brutality and lethality of the police, and the militarized occupation of such places. Literature as a witness to history reveals itself as an important key to criminological interpretation.
以下文章基于Roberto Lyra和其他在Machado de Assis中对巴西结构性暴力的解释者的犯罪学传统来考虑文学与犯罪学之间的关系。通过对吉奥瓦尼·马丁斯的小说《Via Ápia》的分析,我们揭示了警察维和部队(UPPs)在Rocinha社区实施的背景。马丁斯的五个年轻主人公的日常生活展示了这样一个项目对贫民窟居民生活的各种后果,这些单位被安装在贫民窟里:对非法物质贸易的影响,警察的残暴和致命,以及对这些地方的军事化占领。文学作为历史的见证者,是犯罪学解释的重要钥匙。
