On Dialogue: Or Legal Performance in the Affective Space

In conversation with Peters’s Law as Performance , I suggest paying closer attention to dialogue as one central element of performance itself. In this contribution, I analyze the configuration of affective spaces based on the characteristics of dialogue in legal settings, from legislation to inquisitorial cases.
