Abstract

The contemporary world has shown the weaknesses of their social, economic, political and commercial relationship. In the last two decades, experienced a worsening of ethnic and religious disputes and conflicts of access to land, among many others. Since the dawn of mankind, the conflicts have always existed and were instrumental in the reorganization and reconstruction of new forms of cohabitation. With the rise of capitalism and its forms of production and reproduction more exclusive, the institutions created to organize the society does not realize the demands of a legal solution to the conflicts generated. Mediation reappears as a way of reducing lawsuits in the courts as well as instrument of social regulation, to avoid situations of socio-economic inequalities. Technological change has intensified these differences through the ease and rapidity of information on global and local level, requiring new worldviews with paradigm shifts in the way of conceiving and living the social reality. With the growing proliferation of slums formed by populations with low education and income, increased the level of violence, expanding initiatives encouraged by the judiciary and government, dissemination of alternative forms of community justice. The guiding question of this dissertation is to verify to what extent the practice of mediation in two offices run by popular Juspopuli Office of Human Rights, a nongovernmental organization (NGO) that advises the State of Bahia, effectively contributes to the construction of autonomy subject, which is developed by curiosity about the mediation process and identify the mechanisms of learning and human development. The methodology was exploratory, applied, with a historical-structural and dialectic, using the observational case study. In data handling and analysis of results was chosen by the methodology of the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) used in social research when it wants to rescue a community of thought by speech synthesis, as set out in the first person singular, as it represents a hypothetical collective subject. Were used Lev Semenovich Vygotsky, Luis Alberto Warat and Paulo Freire in the theoretical contributions. At the end, this study has found that the practice of mediation has proven to be an important technology for the social constitution of an emancipated and reflective subject, capable of facing the challenges of the twenty-first century learning and the development of higher psychological aspects in addition to exercise role as an instrument maker of citizenship and social regulation to promote peace.
