Language, Communication and Betrayal

The centrality of language (as a site of formation of subjectivity, as a site of conflict, as a site both of oppression and of liberation) for feminist theory and practice is a widely shared tenet. So is the awareness of the difficulty of 'creating' a language in which to express a female subject who cannot have a voice in the given symbolic order. In the Italian context, and working on a daily newspaper (albeit a slightly eccentric one like il manifesto), how does one write about the feminist movement? And - which is more difficult - how does one write about feminist theory? The requirements of communication might seem to call for a simplified language, a sort of 'translation' of the terms of the theoretical debate. But where does communication end and betrayal begin?
