Gender and Law Issues
Law, as a mechanism capable of regulating the most varied spaces of public and private life, is not blind to gender. In this sense, the Special Issue “Gender and Legal Issues” of the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law aims to open a space for original articles analyzing the impacts of law from a gender perspective, contributing to advancing this important aspect of critical studies of law.
This issue seeks to highlight how the legal text and the social context are articulated in a gender perspective, considering that the dynamics of perception, interpretation and application of the law demonstrate the limits of theories that reduce the legal phenomenon to a formalistic and apparently neutral legal frame.
This special issue also has an international vocation, embracing the most varied legal traditions and cultures. Original articles and reviews addressing how legal mechanisms in different countries can produce or reinforce situations of gender inequalities, or, on the contrary, contribute to prevent them are highly encouraged.
