«Esser se stesso e non esser solo». Il soggetto giuridico ai tempi del neoliberismo: il ruolo sovversivo del soggetto femminile di diritto

Today, neoliberalism seems to favour the emergence of a weak, fragmented and intermittent legal subjectivity. Neoliberalism’s governmental technique involves the effective removal of the body from the legal subject, entailing the concealment of the individual’s own limitations and, with them, the contemplation of their own finitude, which implies the concept of otherness as a constitutive and inalienable factor. The loss of the legal subject goes hand in hand with the loss of the law itself. However, in this context, feminist legal theories have continued to emphasise the dimensions of corporeality and relationality as ontologically intrinsic to the female legal subject. We suggest starting from these elements in order to counteract the two tendencies that the legal subject encounters in neoliberal rational elaboration: disunity and the removal of corporeality.
