The incest like taboo and liberation of victim
Abstract
In this paper I propose an analysis about the so-called myth of the incest taboo, a mechanism of patriarchal, male and adult domination, paradoxically, it’s invisibilizing and perpetuating situations of incestuous sexual violence within families that most affect to girls. It is an analytical text but lived experience with doses. As this is a complex and multidimensional issue, this article board incest from its historical dimension, considering that on this issue concur biological dimension of our species and the sociocultural dimension, we live in families and communities and, therefore, in power relations. From these elements, I present some reflections that allow visualize the victim of incestuous sexual violence in a new condition: as a social figure that develops actions of resistance, agency and liberation.Keywords
