Résumé:
This paper analyzes how the Maria da Penha Law becomes worked as a historical
document, in a first moment, showing how entities that work the theme of violence in
Cajazeiras/Paraíba do a discursive elaboration of the law and, in a second moment, as
this law is represented in another historical field that are the cartoons that, using of
humor, irony and satire, make a representation, sometimes positively or negatively on
the law. Even with the implementation of policies and actions for the combating of
violence against women, it is still noticeable and becomes worrying how scary is the
number of cases of women who are constantly abused in our society. It is a
phenomenon that does not choose class, race, age and education. They are women who
are abused mainly in the family, especially by their partners, which makes the issue a
social and political problem considering home as space of quiet and safe for the whole
family, and, therefore, immune to violence, but which turns out to be a place of tension
and conflict. This way, it is important to reflect on the importance of gender relations
for historical and social understanding and, thus, to understand the location of this
violence against women in daily life, in reality. These issues underlie this work when
looking systematize, in the city of Cajazeiras, Paraíba, data and information on violence
against women and how this issue is elaborated in the institutional, social plane, seeking
to understand what changes take place in the development of the discourse of violence
from testimonies and charges interpretations. Speeches marking a tension and conflict
position and that, in Foucault's perspective, bring the connections of the power relations
that are present in gender relations, mark subject positions, establishing regimes of truth
and legitimate practices and procedures.
