Beneath the Courthouse: A critical phenomenology of judicial space

这个跨学科项目为弱势诉讼人体验伦敦法院的建筑特色、组织实践和地理环境的方式提供了前景，为文化边缘化和我们周围的问题提供了新的意义。虽然法院是真实的和寓言式的法律穿越的中心，但在审判和法规的奇观面前却被忽视了。我问，这些不同的地方是否可以共同构成物质的法律基础设施，使边缘化的人服从，将司法空间的概念恢复到关于获取、被疏远和接受不平等版本的司法的对话中。通过现象学访谈和理论分析，《法院之下》通过对诉讼当事人讲述他们对法律具体化的体验来检验这一理论。批判性地这样做，它提供了对边缘化的洞察，我们的文化价值体系及其具体化，司法空间是什么以及它可能成为什么。

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.
