Abstract

The paper aims to develop a reflection on gender violence from an interdisciplinary perspective. Moving from tasks and positions of philosophical and psychoanalytic matrix , the authors bring into discussion the notion of gender based violence as a monolithic entity. After drawing a short theoretical trajectory on gender, sex and identity, the different meanings of the violence as social phenomenon are highlighted from a critical reflection on interpretative paradigms so far suggested. The main reference will be the difficulty associated with concepts such as heterosexual norm, required identity, performative gender, exclusionary effects associated with it, in order to analyze the rhetoric that act as guidance/ ordering in the speeches on gender based violence.
