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…

Differences in Inhibitory Control between Impulsive and Premeditated Aggression in Juvenile Inmates
2017
Inhibitory control dysfunction was considered a universal characteristic of violent offenders. The aim of this study was to examine differences in inhibitory control between two subtypes of violent youth; those displaying predominantly impulsive and those presenting predominantly premeditated aggression (PM). Forty-four juvenile offenders, defined on the basis of the Procedures for the Classification of Aggressive/Violent Acts (Stanford and Barratt, 2001) participated (N = 23: impulsive; N = 21 premeditated). A visual Go/NoGo task was used to compare behavioral responses and event-related potentials (ERPs) between groups. The task contained two letters (W and M), W was the Go stimulus and M…
Refractions of the Global Educational Agenda
2017
In this chapter, we present what we interpret as ambiguities in the Education for All (EFA) policy agenda (outlined below), and explore how neoliberal substructures influence the opportunity to embrace the negotiative spaces that ambiguous policies might offer. To investigate these dynamics, we have chosen to examine cultural and historical refractions of the EFA agenda in two very different cultural contexts – Norway, located in the Global North, and Nepal, located in the Global South.
La representación social de la violencia de género en la prensa generalista escrita: El País, El Mundo y ABC (2000-2015)
2019
España, desde 2004, con la generación del marco regulatorio recogido en la Ley Orgánica 1/2004 de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género, busca castigar, prevenir y erradicar la violencia de género, así como ayudar a las víctimas de dicha violencia. Esta ley formaliza el concepto de violencia de género e insta a la sensibilización y, en concreto, a los medios de comunicación como agentes socializadores secundarios a formar parte de los principales mecanismos de prevención al respecto. Por lo anterior, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la evolución que ha tenido el tratamiento de la violencia de género en la prensa generalista española, específicamente en lo…
