          Abstract

          O artigo apresenta uma crítica ao processo de universalização do direito, concebido pelo projeto iluminista e que é fundamento tanto da concepção moderna de direitos humanos quanto da definição de padrões jurídico-políticos de desenvolvimento para as diversas regiões da sociedade mundial. A partir do recurso à noção de desigualdade material e (neo)colonialismo, são identificadas contradições no discurso jurídico universal que, dado seu fundamento moral unitário, o tornam meio de estabelecimento de hierarquias regionais e de recolonização das práticas jurídicas do sul. Ao caráter autoritário do universalismo jurídico dominante contrapõe-se, ao final, projeto alternativo de direito global baseado na noção de heterogeneidade.

          Translated abstract

          This paper presents a critique on the process of universalization of law, designed by the illuminist project, and foundation for both the modern understanding of human rights and the definition of juridical-political patterns of development for different areas of world society. The critique is drawn from the reception of post-colonial studies in the area of sociology of law. Based on the notion of neocolonialism, contradictions in universal juridical discourse are identified, since its unitary moral foundation becomes a means for establishment of regional hierarchies and re-colonization of southern juridical practices. In conclusion, the alternative global law project based on the notion of heterogeneity is confronted with the authoritarian character of dominant juridical universalism.
