Dimensões Sócio-Históricas Da Violência Contra a Mulher: Em Pauta, a Ordem Da Guerra

Abstract

This text is structured as a literature review article in which the socio-historical dimensions of violence against women are discussed. To this end, the following discursive itinerary is envisaged: a) the role of the State in regulating the order of war, in short, violence; b) the resumption of the discussion on the institutionalization of patriarchy; c) the reaffirmation of the position of Feminism as a device for living and combating violence, and, finally, some final considerations about the genesis and reproduction of violence against women are presented. Thus, this undertaking corroborates with previous studies that highlight the mode of social organization as the foundation on which the patriarchy's discursive prerogatives that foster violence against the female social body are sustained.
