THE CHARACTER ALTERITY. THE FEMININE
THE CHARACTER ALTERITY. THE FEMININE

Summary/Abstract: The recent resurfacing of the concept of the Other has influenced the research of the feminine alterity phenomena seen as a body, edge or unknown. More or less critical debates put forward the need for a classification where the feminine is a marginal determiner. Philosophically speaking, the second term (irrelevant or just complementary) is treated in analogy with the feminine1 in any relationship and brings in sight the fact that the woman is unconditionally projected in regards to the male alterity, regardless of the form in which it manifests itself: family, religion, politics. The woman was placed under the concept of the Other, thus not being able to appear before the norm.
