Abstract

If, in the dogmatic field of criminal procedure, the theoretical discussion about procedural models is unequivocal and current, in the "new" social security procedural field, such discussion is still incipient and little stimulated by the doctrine. In view of this theoretical gap, we prepared this article, whose objective is to analyze the treatment given by the doctrine of social security procedural law to the themes of the construction of truths and the management of evidence, and we seek to answer the following synthesis question: the social security process is inquisitorial or accusatory? In order to reach the proposed objective and answer the research question, we used as a methodological strategy the document analysis of technical-legal manuals of social security procedural law, which, here, are taken as a material object of analysis. Furthermore, we compare this material with civil and criminal procedural doctrines and with several socio-anthropological empirical research carried out in Brazilian judicial institutions. With the investigation, it was demonstrated that the procedural model inscribed in the social security procedural doctrine analyzed is clearly inquisitorial. Finally, it was concluded that this process model aligns the formal discourse of the right with the benevolent and charitable discourse of "protection" of the "undersufficient", contributing to the reproduction of what we call cordial inquisitoriality in social security procedural practices.
