Transitional Justice and the Emotional Sense of Justice: Affective Transculturality in Trials at the ICC (B04)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This (legal) anthropological project investigates the affective dynamics unfolding in a trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC). Also researching the ICC's "outreach events" in the African state at issue, the project studies the transformations of these dynamics, when being translated into African contexts. Assuming that the effectivity of international criminal (transitional) justice crucially depends on it being experienced as also affectively just, this project develops a new theory of "affective justice", rooted in transcultural dynamics of emotional repertoires and individuals' affects. Regarding the collaborative research center, the project thus makes a law-centered contribution towards the overarching analysis of transcultural emotional repertoires.
