Objectivity is generally thought of as antithetical to emotion. Chapter 5 makes an argument to the contrary: that objectivity is itself a sentiment. Mobilizing the idea of the courtroom as an affective arrangement, producing objectivity is described as the practice of arranging objects in the courtroom in order to create specific affective dynamics. All actors in the courtroom compete with one another to confer the status of object or subject onto certain human or nonhuman bodies in the courtroom ‒ either to make their own points or to sabotage the arrangement of bodies as posited by their competitors. This relational perspective on objectivity casts a new light on knowledge production in the courtroom. (~7,800 words)
