| Popis | There are many folk ideas about what a judge is or should be. From images in literature to pop culture or mass media. In an ongoing project, we are testing the possibilities of the methods available within the social representations approach (Moscovici 1963). The social representations approach stems from social psychology and its main benefit is the capability to explore shared folk meanings. We have conducted a research to determine social representation of “a dignified judge” among practicing lawyers, using hierarchical evocation method (Abric 2003). Among the answers, allusions to external characteristics of the performance – manners, appearance, and costume – of a judge emerged. This paper explores the performative dimension of a judge, a character in a performance of a trial, mostly in Goffman’s sense. We report the initial findings of our research and discuss the shared ideas of external characteristics of such a persona to which the participants tend to anchor the judge’s dignity. |
