Objective: This study aims to investigate the literature on symbolic violence over the past decade, with the purpose of understanding its nature and manifestations in contemporary society. Theoretical Framework: Within the context of gender studies and the increasing political impact of feminism, symbolic violence is defined as the subjugation of individuals to others through processes of socialization that naturalize power relations. These relations, based on asymmetries such as gender, become unquestionable, providing a solid foundation for research on symbolic violence. Method: A systematic review of scientific productivity on symbolic violence was conducted by tracing databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. Research articles published between 2013 and 2023 in English and Spanish, and with full access, were considered. Results and Discussion: It was found that both material and symbolic structures serve as bases for symbolic violence against women, legitimizing within contemporary patriarchal society. These findings are discussed in relation to the theoretical framework, highlighting identified implications and relationships, as well as potential discrepancies and limitations of the study. Research Implications: Practical and theoretical implications of the study are discussed, providing insights into how the results can influence practices in the field of gender studies and the fight against gender-based violence. These implications could encompass public policies, educational programs, and community actions. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the persistence and complexity of symbolic violence in contemporary society. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by its ability to inform and guide interventions aimed at combating gender-based violence and promoting equity and social justice.
