Femicide, Massimo Recalcati: "Why violence against women is racist"

How does man's violent and murderous behavior toward women arise? What is the legacy of the patriarchal society we cannot free ourselves from? How can we create a "sentimental education" that leads men to accept others as freedom and not as objects? Psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati, author of, among other essays, "Keep the Kiss: Short Lessons on Love" (Feltrinelli) and "The New Melancholies: Destinies of Desire in Hypochondriac Times" (Cortina Editore), answers these questions. Interview by Giulia Santerini. Repubblica has launched the Femicide Observatory page to report on and support female victims of violence. Subscribe to Repubblica: https://s.repubblica.it/scopridipiu.
