• Abstract:

  This essay will be carried out based on a comparative analysis of the environment experienced by Josef K., the main character of the work “The Process” by the author Franz Kafka, in comparison with the environment historically experienced by traditional Brazilian peoples. In the plot of the aforementioned work, Josef K. is subjected to the strong anguish of living under the vulnerability caused by an environment of persecution from a Totalitarian State that suppresses his fundamental rights and guarantees. On the other hand, this environment of vulnerability and lack of realization of fundamental rights is historically experienced by the Brazilian indigenous population. The Brazilian State, whether omissively or commissively, provides its traditional people with the same anguish of having to live under the aegis of vulnerability and disrespect for their fundamental rights and guarantees. We will address this vulnerability experienced by Brazilian indigenous people, in different historical periods. There was a concern to demonstrate the degradation of the fundamental rights and guarantees of indigenous peoples in the period between 2019 and 2022. The work was developed through bibliographical research, using the inductive/deductive method.
