Résumé
Le droit est une des médiations institutionnelles de l’identité, puisqu’il régule les pratiques sociales exprimant l’appartenance de ceux qui les mettent en œuvre et qu’il institue les logiques qui structurent les rapports sociaux qui manifestent la sociabilité de l’espace public. La signification du discours du droit se distingue de celle de la parole ou de l’écriture dans les situations ordinaires de communication, car il s’agit d’un discours instituant. Dans le discours du droit, le sens caché est la part de la signification qui échappe à la performativité de l’énonciation. L’identité singulière de l’énonciateur fait l’objet d’un refoulement, le discours de la loi n’a pas de destinataire et il est considéré comme un discours à vocation universelle. Enfin, le discours de la loi est un discours qui s’impose à tous: il comporte, ainsi, une forme de performativité. Pour illustrer les questions théoriques et méthodologiques abordées dans cet article, on étudiera le texte d’une loi récemment promulguée en France, la loi n° 2013–316 du 16 avril 2013 relative à l’indépendance de l’expertise en matière de santé et d’environnement et à la protection des lanceurs d’alerte.
