Justice as social spectacle
Keywords:
Justice, judicial leading role, political conflicts, social show, empathyAbstract
In order to reflect on the role of empathy in justice as an institution, I recover the analytical category "show justice" used by Sousa Santos to explore the judicial protagonism in the political conflicts that aim to ensure good governance and ensure the exercise of private property. To accomplish my goal I shall use the Aristotelian perspective on the emotional effect and judgment that viewers made in relation to the characters in the show. Also, I consider the look that Bourdieu made on social institutions, because who holds power, in this case those who judge, make a social reality show.
