Uma análise da literatura de cordel como instrumento de acesso à justiça

Abstract

Access to justice is a constitutionally recognized right in Brazil. However, it faces obstacles to its implementation that generate the need to discuss strategies to combat them. This work, therefore, focuses on analyzing the possibility of using cordel literature as an instrument for implementing access to justice, through a bibliographic research methodology. Thus, we initially discuss the concept of access to justice and the characteristics of this type of literature, in order to understand which points can be connected. In this sense, the premise is that one of these obstacles is the language used in the legal universe, which is considered inaccessible by a large part of the population. The analysis, then, consists of the possibility of using literature, specifically that of cordel, as a kind of translator of this type of language, in order to promote legal education and the implementation of access to justice.
