Description
Exploring the intersection of power and inequality is key to understanding the origins of violence. This tension between two axes - those of equals and those of the unequal - holds the potential for insight into the production of violence.
The relationships of gender are presented here as a paradigmatic example, with the author drawing on "the long history of patriarchy" to illustrate how these dynamics shape all systems where social status influences modern citizenship. The interplay between anthropology, psychoanalysis, and human rights is seen as crucial in understanding this phenomenon.
By examining the sphere of intimacy, it becomes possible to support the law's task of pacifying society. A reform of this area is necessary to dismantle the escalation of societal violence, from domestic abuse to international conflict. The cooperation between law and communication is also essential, as the former shapes social relationships primarily through symbolic efficacy rather than legal effectiveness.
