The way in which the chilean society has elaborated femicide in the last years, by making up woman as victim and her body as victimized and able to victimize, becomes part, in an effective and effi cient way, of the socio-masculine device that organizes the diff erence about gender and sexual inequality. This core hypothesis is approached in this article from the perspective of gender performativity that Judith Butler proposes and, following her politics of parody idea, a literary chronicle that could be considered as a parody of femicide is analyzed, in order to demonstrate that the juridical road to face the femicide doesn't seem the most appropriate.
