Summary: | Understanding that legal categories are created and shaped through a process that is not only juridical, but also social and political, this paper offers an overview of the category 'violence against women' in the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. By doing a critical in-depth analysis of the most relevant cases for the category's development, besides relying on information gathered through interviews conducted with the Courts' lawyers, the paper suggests that the category is a translocal one, in the sense that its content has been determined through a complex interaction between transnational formulations and local variables. Keywords: Inter-American Court of Human Rights; violence against women; jurisprudential development. Entendendo que as categorias juridicas sao criadas e moldadas por um processo que e nao apenas juridico, mas tambem social e politico, este artigo oferece uma visao global da categoria 'violencia contra as mulheres' na jurisprudencia da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. Valendo-se de uma analise critica aprofundada dos casos mais relevantes para o desenvolvimento da categoria, alem de informacao obtida por meio de entrevistas conduzidas com advogados e advogadas da Corte, o artigo sugere que a categoria e translocal, no sentido de que o seu conteudo e determinado por meio uma complexa interacao entre formulacoes transnacionais e variaveis locais. Palavras-chave: Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos; violencia contra a mulher; desenvolvimento jurisprudencial. |
