Patriarchy and aesthetics, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, femme fatale, gynecocracy, pleonexiaAbstract
The thought of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer would be decisive in the design of a new female stereotype, linked to a particularly exaggerated idea of the evil woman, which would end up populating, through artistic and literary bohemianism, the aesthetic imaginary of the twentieth century. Their philosophy would serve as a binding force for many writers and artists and would have a decisive influence on the spiritual state of their time. A new, more degraded and belittling image of women emerged, which now represented not the masculine fear of the feminine -
a constant in history - but the horror of that non explored feminine other who violates the limits that patriarchal morality and culture have assigned to her.
