This thesis interrogates the social, intimate and property relations that underpin sexualized and gendered violence. I argue that struggles against violence must strike at "cultures of property", that is, the historically materialized and systemic logics of propriety and possession. This investigation is motivated by recent attention to femicides that fails to address the historically sedimented structures that produce gender violence. Common narratives stress individual responsibility and investment in the penal system, borders and the private sphere. In contrast feminist grassroots movements emphasize the continuity between different forms of violence including coloniality, capitalist expropriation and militarization. My unique contribution is to explore how the proprietorial violence of "western modernity" contributes to contemporary gendered violence.This project interrogates this specific genealogy of gender violence by incorporating historical methodologies into a philosophical framework. Critique is deployed as an interplay between de(con)struction and creative construction. The first aim is to redress a failure to consider the centrality of proprietary notions of the self, and of gender propertised. Second, the thesis contends that understanding the contingent histories of appropriation and dispossession in the present, enables a rethink of our responses to violence. This questions ambiguous concepts often heralded in emancipatory struggles, such as self-ownership. The final aim of this project is to explore non-violent relations by unsettling the idea of intimacy as the possession of liberal personhood. The thesis is motivated by a desire to develop critical philosophical frameworks that inform and learn from political struggles against violence. It imagines and conceptualises social and intimate relations beyond proprietorial logics of self possession. By engaging with the erasure in liberal progressive narratives of the colonial and propertised histories of violence, I develop alternative responses drawing on anti-colonial and queer feminist resistance to appropriation.

本论文探讨了性暴力和性别暴力背后的社会关系、亲密关系和财产关系。我认为，反暴力的斗争必须打击“财产文化”，即历史上物化的和系统的逻辑的适当和拥有。这次调查的动机是最近对杀害妇女问题的关注，而这种关注未能解决产生性别暴力的历史沉淀结构。共同的叙述强调个人责任和对刑事系统、边界和私人领域的投资。相反，女权主义草根运动强调不同形式的暴力之间的连续性，包括殖民主义，资本主义征用和军事化。我的独特贡献是探索“西方现代性”的所有权暴力如何促成当代性别暴力。这个项目通过将历史方法融入哲学框架来询问性别暴力的这一特定谱系。批判是作为解构和创造性建构之间的相互作用而展开的。第一个目标是纠正没有考虑到自我的专有概念和性别财产化的中心地位。其次，论文认为，了解当前占用和剥夺的偶然历史，可以重新思考我们对暴力的反应。这对解放斗争中经常出现的模糊概念提出了质疑，例如自我所有权。这个项目的最终目的是探索非暴力的关系，通过扰乱亲密的想法，拥有自由的人格。本文的动机是希望发展批判的哲学框架，告知和学习反对暴力的政治斗争。它想象和概念化社会和亲密关系，超越了自我占有的所有权逻辑。通过参与在自由进步叙事的殖民和财产化的暴力历史的擦除，我开发的替代反应借鉴反殖民和酷儿女权主义者的抵抗拨款。
