Parole di genere. La cura del lessico nelle narrazioni della violenza contro le donne

Translated title of the contribution: Gender words. The care of the lexicon in the narratives of violence against women

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The essay aims to emphasize the importance of the lexical choices made by the legislator, the judge and the journalists in the narratives of violence against women. The prevention and contrast of a phenomenon that has deep cultural roots can only pass through a revolution in language. On the contrary, the legislative description as well as, even more so, the jurisprudential and media 'narrative' of the various forms of violence against women as women often lack the necessary care for words, ending up confirming and reinforcing the sexist mentality from which such offenses spring.
