Hera e Marie Farrar no Supremo Tribunal Federal: discursos argumentativos, representação e deliberação constitucional na ADPF 442. 2019. 119f. Monografia (Graduação em Direito) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2019.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/51735The demand for the decriminalization of abortion in the process of a judicial review reveals, besides the difficulty of the constitutional solution to be reached, serious questions about the legitimacy and the representation of the Brazilian Supreme Court to deliberate an issue so sensitive to different moral, legal, technical and political discourses among society. This research reverses the logic of delayed diagnoses of the Supreme Court decisions, understanding that it is not enough to pursue a decision that honors the basic repertoire of fundamental rights at stake. Thus, starting from a preventive posture, this monography turns to the problem of what can be done before deliberation so that it has a rational and representative argumentative quality capable of fostering its acceptance and legitimacy through such a controversial and meaningful subject in the life of Brazilian women. From this perspective, in its theoretical approach, the research examines the relevant discussions in the political and legal literature on representation and constitutional deliberation until reaching the relationship of this binomial with the role given by the performance of language use in law. In addition, the purpose of public hearings in the processes of judicial review in Brazil, their idealized intention, in contrast to what the institute means today is also discussed. The empirical frame is dedicated to studying, in Content Analysis, the argumentative discourses surrounding ADPF nº 442, in its initial petition and public hearings, aiming to verify the hypothesis of low argumentative quality of the discourses presented by society as the reason for the lack of representation in the deliberations of the Brazilian constitutional court. From the proposed questions, it was investigated how the STF deliberation in ADPF 442 can be representative, trying to answer this question through the critic to the argumentative representation theory, as well as to examine how the representation can be satisfied, once the public hearings are held. In the end, it is concluded that the argumentative discourses amid ADPF 442 have a high index of rationality and reliability, which should necessarily give rise to their representation in the future decision to be given by STF.ADPF 442Deliberação constitucionalRepresentaçãoDiscurso argumentativoAudiência públicaDescriminalização do abortobachelorThesis
