This chapter seeks to examine and critically assess the formation of cultural criminology as a theoretical field within criminology. It explores its primary theories, key scholars, methodologies, and central themes, along with its reception and ongoing transformation in Brazil. The chapter provides a historical overview, highlighting significant contributions by Brazilian criminologists over recent decades, and outlines the current state of the field in the country. Furthermore, it addresses the process of cultural hybridization occurring through the integration and reinterpretation of various strands of cultural criminology within Brazilian critical criminology. More than a decade after the initial contact, it is possible to say that the joint work of Brazilian criminologists has constituted a new facet of Brazilian critical criminology and a new facet of cultural criminology itself. United by their common political identity, they continue to develop and spiral together, challenging accepted notions of locality and reinventing academic and everyday forms of resistance in different arenas of the Global South and Global North.

摘要

This chapter seeks to examine and critically assess the formation of cultural criminology as a theoretical field within criminology. It explores its primary theories, key scholars, methodologies, and central themes, along with its reception and ongoing transformation in Brazil. The chapter provides a historical overview, highlighting significant contributions by Brazilian criminologists over recent decades, and outlines the current state of the field in the country. Furthermore, it addresses the process of cultural hybridization occurring through the integration and reinterpretation of various strands of cultural criminology within Brazilian critical criminology. More than a decade after the initial contact, it is possible to say that the joint work of Brazilian criminologists has constituted a new facet of Brazilian critical criminology and a new facet of cultural criminology itself. United by their common political identity, they continue to develop and spiral together, challenging accepted notions of locality and reinventing academic and everyday forms of resistance in different arenas of the Global South and Global North.
