Abstract

The article tries to develop a non-conventional narration of gender violence through the description of the career that category of recognition has had both in social sciences and transnational feminist debate. In the first recognition made visible and therefore politically prosecuted asymmetries inherent models of socio-cultural representation of gender relations, in the second it redefined the relationship between equality and difference in the broad debate of social justice. The combination of these results shows that violence against women can be otherwise told provided reading misrecognition as severe form of social injustice.

Summary

Introduction

The purpose of this article is the lin k between female subjectivity and the definition ( emerging) of the phenomenon of violen ce The existence of this nexus has its origins in feminist epistemological paradigms and shows how violence is a construction of a soci al fact whose rec ognition - and existence - in public s pace is due to the change in social perception by women themselves. Difference, and translate, as proposed by Carol Smart[1], three trends: sexist Law in liberal approach, Male Law in radical approach, Sexed Law in postmodern This survey of feminist theories on Law shows how debate from the seventies, especially in Italy, has been anchored di rectly to struggles practiced by movements for abortion rights and against sexual violence. My reflection ends with the po ssibility to see into the formulation of a new neo-feminist lexic on the deconstruction of gender violence as device for control of bodies and subjecti vities, and as an expression of social injustice
