MARTINEZ, Ariel. MEDUSA AND THE CONCAVE MIRROR: THE NORMATIVE ROOTS OF VIOLENCE ON THE BODY. Univ. philos. [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.71, pp.21-52. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.uph35-71.mecv.

This article draws from Adriana Cavarero's considerations on the role of the body in diverse contemporary modalities of violence. We propose a conceptual path along some ideas from Jacques Lacan, Judith Butler and Kaja Silverman in order to state, on the one hand, an onto-epistemolog- ical turn that understands the body as the effect of social norms and, on the other, an ethical and political reflection about the levels of violent ex posure that suffer those bodies that are excluded from the cultural frames that make a life livable. The concave mirror-as a possibility for other alternative ways of representing the body-is postulated as an alterna tive to the hegemonic ways in which the representation operates in the configuration of the body as a totality and unity: those that theory links to the flat mirror.

Palavras-chave : body; violence; representation; precariousness; vulnerability.
