Abstract |
Jurors are confronted with violence and transgressions, which have a traumatic effect not well hidden by the institutional and theatrical process o1 the trial. Therefore, each juror must elaborate ad hoc defense mechanisms, and the process of this elaboration is perceptible in how each constructs his/her own version of the story, and gives sense to the violence they indirectly witness. The analysis is focused on a specific part of the interview: the moment when the interviewees relate the cases they have judged. The narrative analysis will allow us to show how and why, in each specific case, each juror identifies with the accused person or with the victim, or even with other characters, and how this most affective identification determines their evaluation of the situation and of who is really responsible of it.
