Yuliia Khyzhniak (Groningen) on departures in ECHR jurisprudence as part of a narrative structure

A departure in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights as part of a narrative structure

This paper analyses a departure in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights from a narratological perspective. In particular, a departure is being considered as part of a larger textual structure—a chain of cases—instead of being restricted only to the text of a particular judgment which contains a departure. Certain characteristics of a chain of cases (temporal dimension, narrator, etc.) allow to represent it as a narrative.In order to demonstrate how these characteristics help to understand the logic of a departure, the paper analyses how a departure is textually constructed in one of chains of cases of the European Court of Human Rights.
