Her brilliance is indispensable and indisputable. She considers violence against women in historical forms, its domestic, public, military, and paramilitary forms, and in its relation to gratuitous cruelty and the formation of masculine subjects. Steeped in the history of violence against women in Latin America, Segato situates this history of violence in a transnational frame, showing the range of powers that seize upon women’s bodies with lethal aggression. That history moves in and out of national boundaries, focuses the analysis of femicide in relation to territory, property, and both state and non-state powers, all of whom mobilize specific and converging forms of violence. Segato shows us how to make the case against this horrific war on women in its legal, historical, and psychological dimensions. One can only feel grateful for this indomitable intellect and remarkable passion as it pursues and renews this political commitment to justice.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith Butler, University of California, Berkeley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eRecent decades of neoliberal rule have seen authoritarian turns in many governments, and these decades have also been marked by increasing violence against women. The systematic killing of women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, has given way to a violent surge that is worldwide in its scope, concentrated in places where the state’s traditional, sovereign functions have broken down. Femicide is no longer just an intimate event: it has become anonymous and systematic, a crime of power. An intensified form of capitalism, the product of a colonial modernity that is still with us, now fuels new wars on women, which destroy society while targeting women’s bodies. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Understanding this new, violent turn within patriarchy—which Rita Segato considers the primal form of human domination—means moving patriarchy from the margins to the center of our social analysis. According to Segato, it is only by revitalizing community and repoliticizing domestic space that we can redirect history towards a different destiny. At stake is nothing less than the future of humanity.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword – Jelke Boestens\u003cbr\u003ePrologue to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  \u003cbr\u003eTheme One: The Centrality of the Question of Gender   \u003cbr\u003eTheme Two: Patriarchal Pedagogy, Cruelty, and War Today    \u003cbr\u003eTheme Three: What Hides the Role of Patriarchy as the Pillar that Sustains All Powers   \u003cbr\u003eTheme Four: Toward Politics in a Feminine Key\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Writing on the Bodies of Murdered Women in Ciudad Juárez: Territory, Sovereignty, and Crimes of the Second State    \u003cbr\u003eScience and Life   \u003cbr\u003eThe Femicides in Ciudad Juárez: A Criminological Wager\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWomen’s Bodies and the New Forms of War\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  \u003cbr\u003eThe Informalization of Contemporary Military Norms    \u003cbr\u003eChanges in the Territorial Paradigm    \u003cbr\u003eCorresponding Changes in Political Culture, or The Factionalization of Politics\u003cbr\u003eThe Mafialización of Politics and the State Capture of Crime    \u003cbr\u003eFemigenocide: The Difficulty of Perceiving the Public Dimension of War Femicides   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatriarchy, from Margin to Center: Discipline, Territoriality, and Cruelty in Capital’s Apocalyptic Phase    \u003cbr\u003eThe History of the Public Sphere is the History of Patriarchy    \u003cbr\u003eDiscipline and the Pedagogy of Cruelty: The Role of High-Intensity, Colonial Modern Patriarchy in the Historical Project of Capital in its Apocalyptic Phase\u003cbr\u003eHistory in Our Hands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003eColoniality and Modern Patriarchy \u003cbr\u003eDuality and Binarism: The “Egalitarian” Gender Relations of Colonial Modernity and Hierarchy in the Pre-Intrusion Social Order\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003eFemigenocide as a Crime Under International Human Rights Law \u003cbr\u003eThe Struggle for Laws as a Discursive Conflict   \u003cbr\u003eDisputes over Whether or Not to Name   \u003cbr\u003eThe Struggle to Elevate Femicide to the Legal Status of Genocide Against Women\u003cbr\u003eConditions for Writing Femicide into State Law and Femigenocide into Human Rights Law\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive Feminist Debates: Arguments for a Dissenting Reflection on Violence Against Women   \u003cbr\u003eThe Victimization of Women in War \u003cbr\u003eUnequal but Different   \u003cbr\u003eOn the Role We Assign to the State\u003cbr\u003eHow Not to Ghettoize the Question of Gender \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower’s New Eloquence: A Conversation with Rita Segato    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom Anti-Punitivist Feminism to Feminist Anti-Punitivism    \u003cbr\u003eFor an Anti-Punitivist Feminism: Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresentation before the National Senate, April 20, 2017, at the Hearing Called to Assess a Proposal to Impose Harsher Punishments in Response to the Killing of Micaela García on April 1, 2017 \u003cbr\u003eFor a Feminist Anti-Punitivism: “Femicide and the Limits of Legal Education”\u003cbr\u003eBy Way of Conclusion: A Blueprint for Reading Gender Violence in Our Times\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConceptual Framework: Gender Asymmetry and What Sustains ItThe Two Axes of Aggression and the Masculine Mandate\u003cbr\u003eFemicide and Femigenocide    \u003cbr\u003eTwo Legal Categories Awaiting Recognition in International Human Rights Law    \u003cbr\u003eThe Importance of a Transnational, Comparative Approach    \u003cbr\u003eThe Para-State, New Forms of War, and Femigenocide    \u003cbr\u003eOn the Need to De-Libidinize Sexual Aggression and to See Acts of Gender Aggression as Fully Public Crimes \u003cbr\u003eExpressive Violence: The Specificity of the Message, the Capacity for Cruelty, and Territorial Domination \u003cbr\u003eExpressive Violence: The Spectacle of Impunity   \u003cbr\u003eA Watershed in the History of War \u003cbr\u003eThe Masculine Mandate and the Reproduction of Military Labor    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp;
