Abstract
Drawing on Adriana Cavarero’s theory of one’s voice, this article pleads for an alternative subjectivity to the independent subject as it is constructed within contemporary legal theory and retributive justice theories. It lays the theoretical foundations for an ontological conception of the self, which is capable of speaking in her own voice, inclined to others and thus for an epistemic, feminist and ethical justice, which is responsive rather than reactive.
