Sumario:Violence, vulnerability and victim are part of the vocabulary of our time. And they are particularly so in feminisms that have abandoned or subsumed other concepts: oppression, inequality, discrimination… Violence, vulnerability and victim is a particularly fecund vocabulary: it produces subjects but, given the meanings attributed to those categories, it also de-produces them. This article works on this tension. The proposal that runs through the text is that violence, vulnerability and victim are dis-appearing categories and mechanisms: they allow existing in the frames of existence of the moral economy of humanitarianism, while at the same time they prevent being part-entière of the realm of appearance that constitutes the citizen-subject, even the human. The proposal is based on qualitative techniques in Spain with, besides experts, women victims of gender violence and sex workers.
