"Costituzione appropriativa" e pratiche professionali : gli agenti del campo giuridico di fronte alla mediazione

In some respects, Italy's Legislative decree 28/2010, as amended by the Legislative decree 69/2013, converted into Law 89/2013, can be interpreted as a process of "appropriative constitution" of ADR by the agents of the legal field. The present contribution aims to apply some analytical tools proposed by Bourdieu with the aim of understanding the way in which the process of "forced annexation" of mediation to the legal field has impacted on the paths of signification and practices adopted by the actors who have been most directly involved. It is based on the data collected during a research conducted at the Court of Florence in the context of a broader experimental project aimed at promoting the use of mediation in the civil and commercial field [Publisher's text].
