Beneath the Courthouse: A critical phenomenology of judicial space

这个跨学科的项目突出了处于不利地位的诉讼当事人体验伦敦法院的建筑特征、组织实践和地理位置的方式，为文化边缘化和我们周围的问题赋予了新的意义。虽然法院是真实的和寓言式的法律穿越的核心，但在裁决和法规的壮观场面中，法院被忽视了。我问，这些不同的地方是否可能共同构成物质法律基础设施，从属于被边缘化的人，将司法空间的概念恢复到围绕获得正义、被正义疏远和接受不平等版本的正义的对话中。通过现象学访谈和理论分析，《法院之下》通过讲述他们关于法律体现的经验来检验这一理论。批判性地这样做，它提供了对边缘、我们的文化价值体系及其具体化、什么是司法空间以及它可能成为什么的洞察。

Foregrounding the way disadvantaged litigants experience the architectural features, organisational practices andgeography of London's courthouses, this transdisciplinary project gives new meaning to questions of culturalmarginalisation and our surroundings. Whilst central to the real and allegorical traversal of law, courthouses havebeen neglected against the spectacle of adjudication and statute. I ask whether these distinct places mighttogether constitute material legal infrastructure which subordinates the marginalised, restoring this idea of judicialspace to conversations around accessing, being alienated by, and receiving unequal versions of, justice. Throughphenomenological interview and theoretical analysis, Beneath the Courthouse tests this theory by speaking tolitigants about their experiences with law's embodiment. Doing so critically, it offers insight into marginality, ourcultural value system and its concretisation, what judicial space is and what it might become.
