Legal Issues in South Africa

This article, based on the studies of Haroche (1992) and Edelman (1976) attempts to present a theoretical revision of the notion of subject of law, seeking to relate the functioning of subjectivity and functioning of the juridical.Then, that notion will be articulated in its possible relations to a well-known slogan in feminist movement, "our bodies belong to us", and its paraphrase "my body, my rules".This analysis has the objective of observing how feminist discourse is crossed by law presupposes and how this crossing may contain contradictions, conflicts and silencings.
