    A Healthy Child of Patriarchy. Femicide in the Novel No me ignores by Nicolas Poblete
    (UNIV AUSTRAL CHILE, 2016) Vasquez Mejias, Ainhoa
    It appears that both in the media and in public opinion, we are accustomed to conceive crime as a deviation, a mental illness or a bestiality. The novel No me ignores (2010), by Chilean author Nicolas Poblete, however, questions this idea raising the possibility that murderers are fully rational individuals protected by a system that allows this. From a femicide's voice, Poblete reflects on the murder of women for gender reasons in the context of a patriarchal society that justifies and promotes all forms of violence against women.
