“…Our individual and collective research projects have conducted the three of us to feed and progressively build a common study on the diversity of forms taken by cultural and ethnic elements in the field of family justice in Belgium (Simon 2015, Simon & Truffin 2016, Wyvekens 2013 but also in France (Wyvekens 2017(Wyvekens , 2016(Wyvekens , 2014. The core of our fieldwork is constituted by extensive observations of different types of family justice hearings, recorded or transcribed in detailed way.…”

“…In the contemporary context of broader diversification of ethno-cultural backgrounds and migration trajectories in European societies, the question of how culture and ethnicity enter the courtrooms still remains empirically under-researched and lacks theoretical systematization (but see Bouillier 2011, D'hondt 2010, D'hondt & Beyens 2004, Petintseva 2016, Simon 2015, Simon &Truffin 2016, Terrio 2009, van Rossum 2010, van Rossum & Jansen Fredriksen 2014, van Rossum & van den Hoven 2016, Wyvekens 2017, 2014. Offering more detailed and nuanced pictures than the narratives of incompatible values increasingly disseminated through public debates is an urgent need socio-legal studies should contribute to meet.…”

Based on extensive empirical fieldworks conducted in Belgian and French family justice courtrooms in order to explain how culture and ethnicity are processed and understood in the daily reasoning and assumptions of legal professionals, this chapter analyzes different forms in which culture and ethnicity are framed in family law cases. Understanding how and along which dimensions these elements do vary in judicial reasoning constitutes the preliminary but necessary step before assessing the need of cultural expertise as such. In this attempt, we shed light on a scope of variations between complex and non-deterministic models of cultureconsistent with contemporary anthropology literature -and more simplistic ones, in which culture and identity are conceived as fixed realities. Throughout this path between norms, facts and stereotypes, we illustrate not only the multiplicity and complexity of forms which cultural elements can take in the exercise of family justice, but also the risks that some significances may carry with them and the urgent need to improve more fluid and dispassionate conceptions of cultural diversity before developing "cultural expertise" as such, an expertise that could otherwise reinforce stereotypical and fixed views of "cultures".

Différents travaux ont analysé déjà les politiques de contrôle de la traite des êtres humains et d'accompagnement de ses victimes à partir de leur mise en oeuvre policière et associative. Le procès pour traite à des fins d'exploitation sexuelle, instance ultime de qualification des faits, est cependant resté relativement sous-exploré, en dépit de son caractère central dans la production d'une « vérité judiciaire » et l'identification des victimes et auteur•es. À partir d'une ethnographie conduite dans des tribunaux français et allemands, il s'agit ici d'interroger la production pénale de la figure de victime d'exploitation sexuelle au sein de deux modèles législatifs que l'on oppose couramment en matière de régulation de la prostitution et du proxénétisme. Par-delà les contrastes, on développera l'idée que la figure de la victime de traite à des fins d'exploitation sexuelle, en raison des projections sexualisées et racialisées dont elle fait l'objet, révèle avant tout une certaine conception de la femme et de son rapport à la nation.
