Authoritarianism and democracy in Psycho-pass

Abstract

From the dystopian plot of the Japanese animation Psycho Pass, it is possible to extract elements from the Brazilian political, legal and social reality. The present work, therefore, focuses, above all, on the development of a criticism directed at the threshold between democracy and authoritarianism in the national context, a conjecture that demonstrates a weakening of the bases of the former and the strengthening of the model of organization and institutions related to the latter, even in a Rule of Law. This scenario will be based on the aforementioned artwork, in three fundamental spheres: Labor, Culture and Public Security.
