Conflitos na sociedade psicopolítica: comunhão entre Justiça Restaurativa e o digital

Abstract

Today, we live in the information age, marked by the development of digital environments, which present themselves as a new space that allows individuals to establish relationships, exchange experiences, and connect with loved ones who are physically distant. These environments, however, promote the construction of pernicious relationships, affected by the absence of the figure of the “other,” since interaction occurs solely through a technological device, as well as being impaired by the logic of hyperexposure and the demand for productivity, guided by the psychopolitical logic. Thus, the present work aims to identify the ways in which human relationships develop in digital environments, as well as to analyze the ways in which conflicts arise in these environments, in addition to understanding the methods of conflict resolution applied to these cases and, finally, proposing the application of restorative justice as a system capable of transforming digital conflicts. The methodology used involved a review of bibliographic and documentary research to promote the analysis of the proposed subject, as well as the extensive specialized literature in articles, journals, theses, news, and legal documents incorporated into the theme. Finally, it is found that digital society presents endemic characteristics, linked to the development of surveillance capitalism, psychopolitics, and the absence of human contact, which require differentiated attention when the resolution of digital conflicts is proposed. In this way, restorative justice, based on the adaptation of its methodologies to new digital technologies, presents itself as a viable alternative to be applied to the transformation of conflicts.
