The Aestheticization of Injustice: Reflections on Ethical Justice and Symbolic Exposure

By Antônio Carlos

Not all pain wants to be shown. Not all justice seeks applause. This work questions the ethical threshold between recognition and spectacle, between listening and performance, between real care and its symbolic imitation. It explores how injustice is shaped, captured, displayed - and often emptied - when transformed into narrative or image for public consumption.

Here, ethical action does not depend on visibility. Listening does not require a stage. Attention becomes resistance. And true recognition unfolds not in exposure, but in the silence that protects. This is an invitation to think of justice as non-performative presence - a refusal to aestheticize pain, and a quiet commitment to the dignity of what cannot be turned into content.
