Cet article vise à clarifier le recours à une famille de métaphores qui entoure fréquemment le procès (ritualisation, théâtralisation, mise en scène, cérémonie de type religieux), et défend la thèse que la notion de ritualisation judiciaire exprime avant tout la louable intention d'accorder à la justice internationale pénale un temps et des occasions sans finalité préconçue, mais qui permettent la manifestation d'une diversité d'émotions. Il prend principalement appui sur la comparaison des Pensées et des Lettres provinciales de Pascal d'une part, sur les Remarques sur Le Rameau d'or de Frazer et les Leçons sur la croyance religieuse de Wittgenstein d'autre part. C'est en s'efforçant de rendre raison de notre tendance à inscrire le procès pénal dans différents contextes, qu'il pose la question du genre de connaissance qui nous conduit à former cette idée de ritualisation judiciaire.
This paper aims at clarifying our use of a metaphor family often surrounding the trial (ritualization, dramatization, performance, religious-type ceremony), and supports the idea that the notion of a judicial ritualization expresses the praiseworthy intention to allow time and occasions to the penal international justice – such occasions having no predetermined goal, however, though they make it possible for a variety of emotions to manifest themselves. This article is grounded on a comparison between Pascal's Pensées (Thoughts) and Lettres provinciales (Provincial letters) on the one hand, and Wittgenstein's Remarks on Frazer's Golden bough and his Lessons on religious belief on the other. In an effort to explain our tendency to put the trial in various contexts, it interrogates the kind of knowledge that leads us to form the very idea of a judicial ritualization.
Este artículo pretende arrojar luz sobre el uso de una familia de metáforas que rodean el juicio (ritualización, dramatización, realización, ceremonia cuasi-religiosa), y propone la idea de que la noción de una ritualización judicial expresa la encomiable intención de dar tiempo y oportunidad a la justicia penal internacional -pese a que dichas oportunidades no tengan objetivo cierto, aunque permitan la expresión de un abanico de emociones. El artículo se basa en una comparación entre las obras Pensamientos y Lettres provinciales (Cartas provinciales), de Blaise Pascal, por un lado, y Observaciones a La rama dorada de Frazer y Lecciones y conversaciones sobre estética, psicología y creencia religiosa, de Ludwig Wittgenstein, por el otro. En un intento de explicar nuestra tendencia a poner el juicio en diferentes contextos, se pregunta por el tipo de conocimiento que nos lleva a formarnos la idea misma de una ritualización judicial.
