Resumen

El trabajo judicial exige que los funcionarios judiciales gestionen sus emociones y los comportamientos relacionados, así como que anticipen, interpreten, respondan a y gestionen emociones y comportamientos de otros, sobre todo en la interacción dentro del juzgado. Un análisis sociológico detallado de datos de entrevistas revela cómo los propios funcionarios entienden, gestionan y usan la emoción en su trabajo cotidiano. El trabajo emocional judicial es algo más que un esfuerzo individual o personal; opera en consonancia con normas explícitas e implícitas de sentir y expresarse, normas culturales y normas jurídicas que modelan la relación entre emoción y judicatura. La forma en que los funcionarios articulan su concepto de la emoción en su trabajo cotidiano revela la forma en que reproducen y, potencialmente, transforman los límites entre la emoción y su estatus como jueces. Estos hallazgos reposicionan el trabajo emocional en el centro del trabajo judicial y posibilitan que la emoción sea reconocida como un recurso judicial positivo.
