It discusses the actors and actants involved in criminal interrogations: interrogators, suspects, and clerks, but also laws and customs. Drawing on a scattered historiography of interrogations, it brings together initial insights and outlines questions and problems that can guide the history of criminal interrogation. Premodern criminal interrogations have often been characterized as “monologues”, dominated by the interrogator. The article argues that they can more fruitfully be characterized as dialogues between a variety of actors with different degrees of power and varying constraints. Cette introduction réinterroge des hypothèses anciennes relatives à la pratique des interrogatoires criminels entre 1650 et 1850. Elle aborde l'ensemble des acteurs impliqués (interrogateurs, suspects, greffiers) mais aussi les lois et les coutumes. S’appuyant sur une historiographie généralement dispersée, ce texte rassemble les premiers éléments de réflexion et soulève les questions et les problèmes qui peuvent guider l’histoire des interrogatoires criminels. Ceux de l’époque prémoderne ont ainsi souvent été qualifiés de « monologues », dominés par l’interrogateur. L’article soutient qu’il est plus fructueux de les caractériser comme des dialogues entre différents acteurs aux degrés de pouvoir et de contrainte variables. |
