Gender violence. Between intersubjectivity and power relations through the female body

Abstract

From a psychosocial perspective, this article reflects on the importance of giving an intersubjective look at gender violence, considering that it is a problem that must be understood as the product of the cross-linking of socially established relationships from the body, power and individual psychological relationships. Violence in relationships has historically been conceived as a cultural issue. First, a conceptual synthesis of gender, body, psychic structures of power is developed, in order to enable openness towards intersubjectivity as a convergent point between the social, individual and cultural, as starting points for the understanding of gender violence from a contemporary look.
