| Research Abstract |
This research project aimed to highlight the reflexive relationship between the narratives carried out in the actual law court and the narratives in fiction such as literature, TV dramas and films. As well as contemporary popular fiction, which can affect general attitudes towards law issues and vice-versa, several court cases in the UK, legal consultations and jury discussions in Japan were analyzed, thematically focusing on ethnic and gender issues, methodologically employing ethnomethodology. Our investigation of various narratives in society suggests possibilities of alternative order-makings in multi-ethnic, multicultural societies.
