Rewriting Rights: Feminist Legal Narra(c)tors, from Arendt to Women’s Courts

Description du projet

Renforcer l’autonomie des femmes marginalisées dans le discours juridique

Dans le cadre juridique, les femmes ont souvent du mal à se faire entendre et leurs expériences sont souvent marginalisées. Historiquement, le théâtre du procès, pivot de la théorie féministe, a exclu les perspectives des femmes. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet RE-RIGHTING vise à redéfinir le récit. En permettant aux femmes de prendre part au langage juridique et de demander de nouveaux procès à partir de leurs perspectives uniques, le projet cherche à remettre en question les limites du système juridique et à offrir de nouvelles voies d’accès à la justice. En examinant les pratiques narratives et performatives féministes, le projet vise à créer des archives complètes et à explorer la manière dont les concepts juridiques clés sont redéfinis.

Objectif

The scene of the trial has always been at the core of feminist theories and practices of law, since it has often been identified as the space in which womens voices and bodies could break into the legal scene in order to claim for justice. The project aims to broaden our gaze of the legal scene adopting a new perspective: those of women who, even if they are not the main legal actors (judges, lawyers, plaintiffs), engage with the language of rights in order to re-tell, re-write or re-stage a trial from their situated position. Their voices do not limit to narrate the event of the trial, but actually perform a retrial with the dual aim of highlighting the failure of the legal language in doing justice, and offering alternative possibilities to regenerate and re-signify it. From Arendts pioneering report on the Eichmann trial to the experiences of Womens Courts, these both critical and creative practices are disseminated in the feminist field, but they have never been studied together. Through the newly defined concept of Legal Narra(c)tors, this ambitious and timely project aims to produce the first study of these narrative and performative practices of retrial, which have the merit of promoting a critical but not fatalistic approach to justice using as starting point of the reasoning in line with the feminist situated knowledge the story of a case rather than a theoretical abstraction. The main objective of the project is threefold: (1) empirically, to build an archive of feminist narrative and performative practices of retrial; (2) conceptually, to provide a definition and a theoretical framework for the new expression Legal Narra(c)tors; (3) normatively, to explore how main legal categories such as equality, difference, recognition, gender, subject (of rights), victim, witness, truth (and truth-seeking), and reparation are re-signified by these practices.
