Il contributo esamina il rapporto tra prostituzione e fascismo mediante l’analisi dei provvedimenti di prevenzione penale disposti nei confronti di una donna «dedita al meretricio»: Maria D. Attraverso il filtro offerto dalla nozione di intersezionalità, il lavoro si propone di ricostruire alcuni frammenti di vita presenti nelle carte di polizia per evidenziare i complessi meccanismi di disciplinamento che coinvolgevano la prostituzione durante il ventennio e per sottolineare i labili confini tra marginalità sociale e dissenso d’opinione, tra devianza morale e dissidenza politica nell’asfissiante rete di controllo sociale massa in campo dal regime fascista
