The taint of torture and the brazilian legal system
2019
In Brazil, the practice of torture intertwines deeply with its own history. The literature on the subject has had a greater intensification on its registers during the Dictatorial Regime (1964 to 1985). In spite of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, Brazil only makes efforts to investigate the crimes of torture of this period to comply with the provisions of the United Nations in 2011. Within this scenario, the NationalTruth Commission (Law 12.528, of November 2011) was created with the purpose of clarifying the facts and circumstances of cases concerning human rights violations, as well as the Law on Access to Information (Law 12.527 of November 2011), which have regulated the constitutio…
Validation of the Working Alliance Inventory–Observer Short Version with male intimate partner violence offenders
2018
The working alliance is a key element to increase intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders' motivation, adherence to treatment, and active participation in batterer intervention programs (BIPs). The objective of the present study is to assess the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Working Alliance Inventory-Observer Short Version (WAI-O-S) with a sample of IPV offenders. The sample was 140 men convicted for IPV and court-mandated to a community-based BIP. Inter-rater agreement and reliability were evaluated by computing the intraclass correlation coefficient. To test the latent structure a Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis approach was used. To test criterion-related v…

La otra cara del Dios, Patria y Rey: violencia y destrucción en Valencia durante la Guerra de la Independencia.
2016
There are so many reasons why the Peninsular War (1808-1814) is one of a kind chapter of our history. The deep politicization of the city of Valencia during this conflict explains the existence of cruel and violent episodes. These ones weren’t forgotten, but of course they were properly overcome through the years by other expressions of patriotism and heroism. So, the goal of this paper is to examine and think about the artistic expression of these violent events, their functions, evolution and, in conclusion, their lives. Son diversos y pródigos los factores que contribuyen a definir la Guerra de la Independencia española (1808-1814) como uno de los episodios más únicos de nuestra historia…
Public responses to intimate partner violence against women: the influence of perceived severity and personal responsibility.
2009
This paper explored public willingness to act when exposed to cases of intimate partner violence against women, by analyzing the influence of perceived severity and personal responsibility on two types of responses: mediating and reporting to the police. Results (N = 419) yielded main effects of personal responsibility for both types of responses. No main effects of perceived severity were found. A significant interaction between perceived severity and personal responsibility was found only for reporting responses. Results are discussed in light of the helping behavior research tradition. Implications for public education and advocacy programs are also considered. Marisol.lila@uv.es; Enriqu…
Measuring Perceived Severity of Intimate Partner Violence against Women (IPVAW) among the General Population and IPVAW Offenders
2022
ABSTRACT Public perceptions of the severity of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) incidents are an important factor that has been linked to key issues regarding this type of violence, such as acceptability or tolerance, personal sense of responsibility, attitudes toward intervention, and the public's, professionals', and victims' responses to IPVAW. The aim of the present study was to provide further validity evidence for the perceived severity of IPVAW scale (PS-IPVAW), by assessing its measurement invariance between gender and age groups, and between men from the general population and male IPVAW offenders. Item response theory was also used to assess the discrimination of th…
Victim Blaming and Recognition: Boundaries of Media Discourse on Gender Violence
2016
Dada la relevancia que se le ha otorgado a los medios de comunicación para combatir la violencia de género, el presente artículo trata de discutir las limitaciones que imprime el actual marco hegemónico de reconocimiento de la violencia de género para la actualización de un discurso mediático que profundice en la realidad del fenómeno y contribuya al cambio social. Se ha optado por una metodología cualitativa para poner en el centro de la investigación a los y las periodistas que elaboran, enmarcan y seleccionan las noticias de violencia de género. Se hicieron 17 entrevistas semiestructuradas y, a través del análisis del discurso, se analiza el proceso de interpelación a los sujetos de la v…
The linguistic representation of gender violence in (written) media discourse
2014
‘Woman’ is a key social actor, and a central conceptualization, in the construction of media discourses of gender-based violence. Scholarly research at the turn of the 21st century (Bengoechea 2000; Lledó 2002; Fernández Díaz 2003; Jorge 2004) showed that in the Spanish press, media discourses had a tendency to naturalize male aggression not as violence but as part of the (private) sexual arrangement between the sexes. In this paper we explore the treatment of the phrasemujer maltratada(EN ‘battered woman’) in intimate partner violence newspaper articles from 2005 to 2010. Our aims are: (i) to account for the discursive representation of violence against women (VAW) in Spanish contemporary …
Fuerza de ley : sobre el poder y la violencia
2007
Vicente.Raga@uv.es En este artículo pretendo realizar un breve análisis crítico de la noción de poder en la obra de Foucault, con especial atención a las lecciones impartidas por el autor en el Collegè de France en 1976, recogidas en castellano en un libro, Hay que defender la sociedad. En primer lugar delimitaré los rasgos principales de la noción del poder en Foucault, al hilo del contraste con la teoría de la soberanía, ejemplificada en Hobbes. En segundo lugar, propondré una relectura “forzada” de los textos hobbesianos, tratando de mostrar su cercanía al autor francés. Por último, mediante una lectura que, de nuevo, “forzaría” a Hobbes, expondré alguno de los problemas que ambos autore…
