ARTISTIC FREEDOM AND RELIGIOUS SENTIMENT

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between artistic freedom and religious sentiment, exploring the limits of freedom of expression in contexts of cultural and religious plurality. Through the study of national and international cases, such as The Last Temptation of Christ, The Life of Brian and the special of Porta dos Fundos, the conflicts between artistic manifestations and the protection of religious beliefs are evaluated. The approach considers Brazilian and comparative jurisprudence, in addition to highlighting the role of the principle of proportionality in balancing fundamental rights in democratic societies.
