Feminine Writing as an Alternative to the Patriarchal Language

Download PDF

In order to understand why and how feminine writing emerged, it is essential to have a knowledge of the system of the patriarchal language and its hegemonic power. One has to have a clear idea of the use of language as a weapon for political aims, for domination. Therefore, it is necessary first to take a look at Lacan's theories on entering the symbolic order, that is, the entrance into the patriarchal discourse. After realizing how this phallocentric structure works, how it dominates and controls all aspects of human life, then it would be easier to find means to deconstruct it because then women would know where to turn to in order to base their own language on. After acquiring that knowledge, women would realize that they should go back to the presymbolic stage, step outside the realm of language and start anew.
