| Popis: |
Provoking debate and, at times conflict, the concept of gender has had a primary and contentious impact on the intimate partner violence literature throughout the past 40 years. Some authors theorize gender as foundational to understanding the meaning and experience of violent and abusive acts. Others argue that gender has had too great an explanatory role in intimate partner violence theory and research. Arguments center on the violent and abusive acts themselves and examinations of the frequency, severity, causes, and consequences of these behaviors and the motivations behind their use within interpersonal relationships. Such explanations seem to suggest that the path to understanding intimate partner violence is found in examining the occurrence of these behaviors. The chapter argues that the meaning of violent and abusive acts is only partially discoverable through focusing on the listed behaviors and that a full understanding requires examination of the meaning given to them through socio-cultural discourses on gender, intimate relationships, and violence. |
