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

Abstract

This 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.
