Ce que les émotions font faire aux professionnels du droit: Jalons pour une approche praxéologique des expressions émotionnelles dans la sphère judiciaire

Abstract

RésuméL'article propose des pistes de réflexion pour pouvoir saisir la dimension émotionnelle de l'action judiciaire. A partir des acquis de l'ethnométhodologie, il propose d'appréhender les émotions praxéologiquement, c'est-à-dire comme des accomplissements pratiques afin de décrire la manière dont les expressions émotionnelles sont perçues et interprétées publiquement et en situation. Les émotions apparaissent alors comme des appuis pratiques à la coordination et à la compréhension. Mots-clés droit en action, expressions d'émotions, interprétation, perception AbstractThis article offers some areas for consideration when seeking to understand the emotional dimensions of legal action. Beginning with the lessons of ethnomethodology, it suggests grasping emotions praxeologically, that is, as a practical accomplishment, in order to describe how emotional expressions are perceived and interpreted publicly and in context. Emotions thus appear as practical supports for coordination and understanding in interactional sequences.

Between Norms, Facts, and Stereotypes: The Place of Culture and Ethnicity in Belgian and French Family Justice

“…Praxeological approaches of state justice stand as an important starting point in this direction. Indeed, this growing body of studies allows to look at the judicial activities as made of mundane reasoning aligned with normative aspects of the legal provisions professionals are in charge to interpret and apply (Colemans 2015, Dupret 2010, 2007, Travers 2001. This theoretical angle is particularly relevant when assessing the role culture and ethnicity play in judicial reasoning in Belgium and France precisely because, in these countries as in many other continental legal systems, neither one nor the other are part of formal legal provision -if we set aside the formal interdiction contained in anti-discrimination regulation.…”

Compreender os desafios de um trabalho bem-feito: o comportamento emocional como motor de pesquisa e ferramenta de investigação

“…A esse respeito, J. Katz (Bidet;Gayet-Viaud;Le Méner, 2013) insiste na dimensão comprometida e corporificada da pesquisa etnográfica, ou seja, a ação do corpo que permite experimentar o aspecto transcendente dos eventos observados in situ. Mesmo apreendendo a emoção "em primeira pessoa" (Colemans, 2015), podemos nos interessar pelo que ela revela sobre a situação em questão e colocá-la em seu contexto de enunciação. Nesse sentido, uma emoção é sempre "sobre algo" (Elster, 1995, p. 38).…”

“…Assim, considero que meu comportamento emocional constitui um fenômeno social, e penso nas emoções como "valores de conhecimento", uma categoria de análise que nos permite compreender melhor a experiência dos outros (Colemans, 2015;Paperman, 1995). Meu comportamento emocional permite, então, tornar inteligíveis as questões e desafios da pesquisa de campo.…”
