Dissertação (Mestrado em Direito Agrário) - Faculdade de Direito, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2023.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/13105The theme of the dissertation promotes a reflection on the role of the judiciary in protecting the intangible cultural rights of indigenous peoples, understood as a subjective cultural space that demands attention for its perpetuation over time. Thus, the research problem is whether there is a power-duty of the countermajoritarian role in protecting the cultural rights of indigenous peoples. In turn, the hypothesis resists in the affirmation that there is a function in the Federal Constitution, at the same time that this function can be a remedial mechanism for the violence suffered by native peoples. The general objective is to penetrate this subjective cultural space in modern legal dogmatics and to value it. In view of these needs, the research supports the basic theories and thoughts built by Peter Haberle and Boaventura de Souza Santos, in order to try to make a paradigmatic transition of the current judicial system, so that it reaches legal pluralism and effectiveness of the diversity of rights that are affirmed. The method used is the hypothetical-deductive, using bibliographic technique and comparative analysis of judicial decisions. Finally, the research shows the importance of rethinking the role of countermajoritarianism by expanding the interpretation of the constitutional norm beyond state institutions, because for the legitimacy of the Democratic State of Law it is necessary to insert other more democratic interpretations. The broadening of the interpretation allows the re-signification of law, as an autonomous social field, for social transformation, since the current judicial system, rooted in hegemonic western assumptions that need to be brokenAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalFunção contramajoritária do STFCultura imaterialPovos indígenasDemocracia participativaInterculturalidadeCountermajoritarian function of the STFImmaterial cultureIndian peopleParticipatory democracyInterculturalityCIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITO::DIREITO PRIVADODissertação
