[en] The trajectory in Brazil of the field that has been constructed and called Feminist Criminology is closely related to the feminist movements' demand for the recognition of women's human rights, especially the right to live a life free from violence. Adopting the field itself as the object of investigation, this work seeks to trace the contours of what has been affirmed as Feminist Criminology in Brazil, identifying its characterising elements and, in this respect, analysing its points of inflection and convergence with Critical Criminology. To do this, the exact terms ?feminist criminology? were searched for in the Capes Portal of Theses and Dissertations database and in the SciElo indexer. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, three doctoral theses and two scientific articles were selected, which paved the way for this exploratory and bibliographical research. In this way, it was possible to draw a constellation through which to connect the points that have driven the academic and scientific production of Feminist Criminology with the historical and political moments that the feminist movement led, especially in the 1990s and 2000s. On this path, it became clear how important it is to affirm Feminist Criminology as an autonomous field; although it is related to Critical Criminology, it is not dependent on it. Even so, it is undeniable that critical criminology and feminist criminology have, beyond their tense boundaries, a central point of convergence, which is the refusal of scientific positivism within the criminological field.

[es] La trayectoria del campo que se ha construido y llamado criminolog?a feminista en Brasil est? estrechamente relacionada con la demanda de los movimientos feministas por el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos de las mujeres, especialmente el derecho a vivir una vida libre de violencia. Adoptando el propio campo como objeto de investigaci?n, este trabajo busca delinear lo que se conoce como criminolog?a feminista en Brasil, identificando sus elementos definidores y, en este sentido, analizando sus puntos de inflexi?n y convergencia con la criminolog?a cr?tica. Para ello, se buscaron los t?rminos exactos ?criminolog?a feminista? en la base de datos del Portal Capes de Tesis y Disertaciones (Trabajos de Fin de Grado) y en el indexador SciElo. De acuerdo con los criterios de inclusi?n y exclusi?n, se seleccionaron tres tesis doctorales y dos art?culos cient?ficos, que abrieron el camino para esta investigaci?n exploratoria y bibliogr?fica. De esta forma, fue posible trazar una constelaci?n a trav?s de la cual conectar los puntos que impulsaron la producci?n acad?mica y cient?fica de la criminolog?a feminista con los momentos hist?ricos y pol?ticos caracterizados por el movimiento feminista, especialmente en las d?cadas de 1990 y 2000. As?, se constata la importancia de la afirmaci?n de la criminolog?a feminista como campo aut?nomo, aunque relacionado con la criminolog?a cr?tica, no dependiente de ella. Aun as?, es innegable que la criminolog?a cr?tica y la criminolog?a feminista tienen, m?s all? de sus tensas fronteras, un punto central de convergencia, que es el rechazo del positivismo cient?fico dentro del campo criminol?gico.
