Abstract

The present work aims to problematize the construction of gender and the understanding of bodies in legal discourse. The symbolic power of legal discourse is questioned by conceiving a reductive and objectified approach to being. Indeed, from a complex paradoxical approach, the study problematizes language and its symbology as a symbolic system for the construction of meaning. In this sense, firstly, we dialogue with thinking about gender from a dialectical, historical-structural approach. To further question the understanding of bodies in a complex-paradoxical dimension. In this way, the reduction and significance in jurisprudence in the face of the construction of toxic masculinities is thematized in the last point, as a way of bringing theory to practice in terms of language and cultural construction.
