摘要

This article examines adjudication not through the lens of justice-seeking or truth-discovery, but as a mythic-legal formation. Introducing the neologism Judicra—a fusion of judicare (to judge) and kratos (power)—the study argues that beneath the legal system lies a semiotic order that is neither merely procedural nor epistemic. Rather, it is a power-oriented entity that reclaims authority even from the hands of sovereignty and capital, redirecting it toward its own performative logic.

Heidegger’s ontology reveals the primordial relationship between this mythic entity and Dasein, uncovering its existential grounding, while Foucault’s discourse analysis brings into view the subtle mechanisms through which institutional power materialises. Barthes’s theory of myth demonstrates how emptied signs continue to sustain belief, and Baudrillard’s notion of simulacra clarifies how “evidence” circulates autonomously within a closed economy of meaning.

The analysis culminates in a paradox: Judicra sustains power through ritual and simulation, yet fleeting moments of ethical openness still allow justice to emerge from within the system’s performance.
