Accesso alla giustizia e funzioni degli stereotipi nel paradigma neoliberale

This essay investigates the functions that stereotypes perform as instruments for managing access to justice. Firstly, it proposes a brief analysis of the “classical” functions of stereotypes, mainly directed at discrediting so-called non-paradigmatic subjectivities. Secondly, it dwells on the further functions that stereotypes play in serialisation and standardisation, in the context of neo-liberal justice. Finally, again with regard to these latter functions of stereotypes, the essay dwells on the transformation of legal language that stereotypes help to convey or accelerate.
