Patriarchal reaction against advances in sexist violence

2019

La violencia que se ejerce contra las mujeres es una violación de los derechos humanos muy extendida, y, en gran parte, impune en todo el mundo. Cuando parecía que existía un consenso en el abordaje de la violencia machista, actualmente nos enfrentamos a una amenaza de retroceso, que intenta poner en cuestión, incluso, el concepto acordado por Naciones Unidas (1979), OMS (2002), el Convenio de Estambul (2011) y la Ley Orgánica 1/2004, de 28 de diciembre, de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la violencia de género en el caso del Estado español. Este artículo es una reflexión, basada en la idea de que las sociedades democráticas tenemos la obligación de blindar la defensa de los derechos …

Non-abusing mothers’ agency after disclosure of the child’s extra-familial sexual abuse

2020

This qualitative study analysed the agency of eight non-abusing mothers in the Turkish Cypriot Community after disclosure that their child had been sexually abused by someone outside the family. The aim was to discover how, after disclosure, such mothers act to protect their children in the contexts of their family and community. The data were gathered via semi-structured in-depth interviews and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In the nuclear family context, maternal agency emerged in the form of motherhood skills, including emotionally supporting the abused child, double-checking the child’s safety or limiting the child’s mobility, and controlling the actions…

At the Interface of National and Transnational: The Development of Finnish Policies against Domestic Violence in Terms of Gender Equality

2017

Although gender inequalities are the main social mechanisms behind the (re)production of domestic violence, policy responses to domestic violence as a gender-related problem vary at both the national and transnational levels. This article examines the interaction between national and transnational policies against domestic violence, focusing on how domestic violence is constructed as a gender-related problem in Finland, a Nordic welfare state that is often cited as a role model in gender equality. Using the conception of policies as historically changing and culturally specific discourses, this article offers an overview of the ways in which the perspective on domestic violence of the trans…

The Voice of the Vanni Tamil women for Peace

2016

Master thesis development management - University of Agder 2016 The civil war in Sri Lanka came to an end in 2009, costing more than 40,000 civilian lives and resulting in major destruction of private and public property. At the end of the civil war the government of Sri Lanka promised peace through passing of amendments to the constitution, initiating reforms to institutions and ensuring human rights and freedom for civilians. The government’s promise of peace has become subject to the criticism of ethnic politics. While assuring peace through constitutional and institutional reforms and human rights and freedom for civilians, the government has promoted victors’ peace by celebrating the m…

Descrizione di una battaglia. Attori e strategie della prova in un processo per femminicidio

2022

Spostando l’attenzione dalla dimensione della verità a quella della veridizione e analizzando la sentenza come una battaglia dialettica che ridefinisce i confini delle identità degli attori coinvolti, il libro propone l’esame di un caso di femminicidio andato in giudizio nel dicembre del 2015. È l’omicidio di una donna che viene insolitamente definito dai giudici come un femminicidio e il cui movente è rinvenuto nel desiderio di possesso dell’omicida nei confronti della vittima. Un caso del quale la cronaca si è poco occupata, anche per il basso livello socio-economico e culturale di vittima e assassino. A renderne ancor più ricca la narrazione, il fatto che di esso (e della giovane vittima…

O dom entre História e Antropologia. Figuras medievais do doador

2003

RésuméL'ouverture bénéfique de l'histoire envers l'anthropologie, pose la question de l'usage par la médiévistique de modèles anthropologiques pas toujours opérants pour expliquer la société médiévale. Le problème étant particulièrement sensible en ce qui concerne le don aux établissements ecclésiastiques. Dans la perspective d'une compréhension générale de cette pratique sociale présente pendant tout le Moyen Âge, l'enquête sur la figure du donateur dans les inscriptions épigraphiques (VIe-XIIe s.) révèle des traits d'un système complexe d'enchaînements entre l'ici-bas et l'au-delà: inversion et déplacement de rôles, intermédiation, circulation et duplicité des biens et des acteurs. Abstra…

Abbagli e abusi: esperienze plurime di violenza di prossimità fra le migranti in Sicilia

2018

The authors analyse some of the role positions found in gender dynamics among migrants, throwing light on possible processes by which mechanisms of submission to and normalisation of gender violence seem to have been internalised by these victims of proxemic violence, emphasising the viscous links existing between vulnerability and resilience.

Sévices maritaux et divorce (XIII - XVIII siècle)

2022

La violence exercée sur autrui dans le but de dresser, d’éduquer, de corriger ou de punir englobe des pratiques très anciennes (coups, fouet, privations, enfermement) et d’autres plus caractéristiques d’une époque, comme le bonnet d’âne dans l’école de la Troisième République. Certaines, comme la gifle et la fessée, semblent si banales qu’on ne les perçoit pas d’emblée comme des objets d’histoire. Jusqu’à ces dernières décennies, cette violence infligée dans le cadre de la maisonnée, distincte et complémentaire de la violence de l’État, n’était contestée que lorsqu’elle était manifestement excessive. Le « droit de correction » était considéré comme un pilier de l’ordre social, exprimant l’a…
