The law and laws : scenarios and scenes in the implementation of Maria da Penha law

Abstract

This article is a revised and expanded version of a work originally presented by us upon the realization of the 3rd National Meeting of the Freudian School of Psychoanalysis - Corpo Freudiano -, which was entitled “Psychoanalysis and Law.” In it , we intend to dwell on the interface between psychoanalysis and law, more specifically concern us scenarios and scenes about the application of Law 11 340/06 , which bears the name of Maria da Penha Law. This will lead to a broader discussion about the very making of laws. The theoretical and methodological framework of which we use for this purpose is based on the contributions of Freud, Lacan, as well as contemporary psychoanalysts dealing more closely the relationship between law and psychoanalysis and between the law and the laws.
