Les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles : vers une perspective intégrative des savoirs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the notion of violence conjugale as "a social grave and persistant problem which enforces le tiers des femmes de la planete en a deja ete victime".
Abstract: La violence conjugale est un probleme social grave et persistant ; le tiers des femmes de la planete en a deja ete victime. Cet article vise a discuter des liens empiriques et theoriques entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles. L’article debutera par une breve mise en contexte decrivant comment la violence conjugale s’est construite comme un probleme socio-penal au Quebec. Les principales lacunes des connaissances actuelles dans le domaine seront ensuite identifiees, demontrant ainsi la necessite de mieux comprendre les liens complexes entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles, trois concepts dont les definitions pourraient s’enrichir et se completer mutuellement. Cet article soulignera l’importance de prendre en consideration les realites diversifiees auxquelles sont confrontes les acteurs concernes par ces violences (femmes, hommes et enfants), en privilegiant une analyse globale qui integre non seulement les facteurs individuels et interpersonnels, mais aussi les facteurs sociaux et structurels, notamment les oppressions liees au genre ou a d’autres marqueurs de l’identite sociale. La discussion sera enrichie par des modeles theoriques decrivant les differentes dynamiques de violences conjugales et familiales ainsi que par le feminisme intersectionnel, qui s’avere fort utile pour l’analyse des violences structurelles. La conclusion traitera des retombees potentielles d’une analyse des liens entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles sur les politiques sociales et les programmes d’intervention pour les victimes, les agresseurs et les enfants exposes a la violence conjugale.

TL;DR: The Premiere Conference mondiale des Nations Unies sur les femmes, qui a eu lieu au Mexique en 1975, il a ete rappele a la communaute internationale que la discrimination envers les femme demeurait un probleme persistant dans de nombreux pays; il a et al. as mentioned in this paper demande aux gouvernements d’elaborer des strategies pour promouvoir la parite, mais leur participation politique n’a pas ete une priorite.
Abstract: Si les femmes ont realise des progres remarquables dans de nombreuses professions, la politique est un domaine duquel elles sont largement exclues. Partout dans le monde, elles se font remarquees par leur absence aux postes de decision du gouvernement. Lors de la Premiere Conference mondiale des Nations Unies sur les femmes, qui a eu lieu au Mexique en 1975, il a ete rappele a la communaute internationale que la discrimination envers les femmes demeurait un probleme persistant dans de nombreux pays; il a ete demande aux gouvernements d’elaborer des strategies pour promouvoir la parite, mais leur participation politique n’a pas ete une priorite. Depuis, si une plus grande attention a ete accordee a leur representation et a leur incidence sur les structures decisionnelles, cela n’a pas donne de resultats immediats. Par exemple, en 1975, les femmes representaient 10,9 % des parlementaires dans le monde; dix ans plus tard, leur participation n’avait atteint que 11,9 %, soit un seul pour cent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an ethnographie menee dans un lieu d'accueil et d'hebergement a Montreal a permis de comprendre comment les femmes en situation d'itinerance sont qualifiees and evaluees comme "victimes" de rapports de genre par les intervenantes sociales qui les accueillent.
Abstract: Au Quebec, le probleme de l’itinerance des femmes est generalement concu comme le resultat d’une multiplicite et d’une accumulation de violences et de vulnerabilites individuelles et structurelles fondees sur le genre. Pour comprendre cette analyse macropolitique, le present article propose de considerer ce probleme public en regardant au plus pres comment il est identifie, defini et repare en situation, et pas seulement comment il emerge dans les arenes publiques et s’institutionnalise. Pour cela, une ethnographie menee dans un lieu d’accueil et d’hebergement a Montreal a permis de comprendre comment les femmes en situation d’itinerance sont qualifiees et evaluees comme « victimes » de rapports de genre par les intervenantes sociales qui les accueillent. Les operations de cadrage, au sens microsociologique de Goffman, incarnees dans leurs experiences quotidiennes d’ecoute et de soin, les conduisent a s’engager dans des reparations singulieres a mi-chemin entre interventions feministes et interventions psychologiques.

Abstract: Le present article propose un retour sur la demarche de recherche, experimentee dans le cadre d’un projet faisant partie de la programmation de TRAJETVI. Ce vaste projet soutient depuis 2013 differentes recherches menees en partenariat sur les violences faites aux femmes vecues en contexte conjugal. La perspective feministe intersectionnelle dans laquelle ce projet inscrit son approche implique de s’attarder aux differents rapports de pouvoir impliques dans les processus de production du savoir. Les resultats obtenus reiterent l’importance de mieux soutenir les partenaires des milieux de pratique, qui portent souvent seul.es la responsabilite du projet au sein de leur organisme, de se doter d’un echeancier realiste ainsi que d’un plan de mobilisation des connaissances qui permet l’appropriation des resultats par toutes les parties impliquees.

TL;DR: This paper explored the race and gender dimensions of violence against women of color and found that the experiences of women of colour are often the product of intersecting patterns of racism and sexism, and how these experiences tend not to be represented within the discourse of either feminism or antiracism.
Abstract: Over the last two decades, women have organized against the almost routine violence that shapes their lives. Drawing from the strength of shared experience, women have recognized that the political demands of millions speak more powerfully than the pleas of a few isolated voices. This politicization in turn has transformed the way we understand violence against women. For example, battering and rape, once seen as private (family matters) and aberrational (errant sexual aggression), are now largely recognized as part of a broad-scale system of domination that affects women as a class. This process of recognizing as social and systemic what was formerly perceived as isolated and individual has also characterized the identity politics of people of color and gays and lesbians, among others. For all these groups, identity-based politics has been a source of strength, community, and intellectual development. The embrace of identity politics, however, has been in tension with dominant conceptions of social justice. Race, gender, and other identity categories are most often treated in mainstream liberal discourse as vestiges of bias or domination-that is, as intrinsically negative frameworks in which social power works to exclude or marginalize those who are different. According to this understanding, our liberatory objective should be to empty such categories of any social significance. Yet implicit in certain strands of feminist and racial liberation movements, for example, is the view that the social power in delineating difference need not be the power of domination; it can instead be the source of political empowerment and social reconstruction. The problem with identity politics is not that it fails to transcend difference, as some critics charge, but rather the opposite- that it frequently conflates or ignores intra group differences. In the context of violence against women, this elision of difference is problematic, fundamentally because the violence that many women experience is often shaped by other dimensions of their identities, such as race and class. Moreover, ignoring differences within groups frequently contributes to tension among groups, another problem of identity politics that frustrates efforts to politicize violence against women. Feminist efforts to politicize experiences of women and antiracist efforts to politicize experiences of people of color' have frequently proceeded as though the issues and experiences they each detail occur on mutually exclusive terrains. Al-though racism and sexism readily intersect in the lives of real people, they seldom do in feminist and antiracist practices. And so, when the practices expound identity as "woman" or "person of color" as an either/or proposition, they relegate the identity of women of color to a location that resists telling. My objective here is to advance the telling of that location by exploring the race and gender dimensions of violence against women of color. Contemporary feminist and antiracist discourses have failed to consider the intersections of racism and patriarchy. Focusing on two dimensions of male violence against women-battering and rape-I consider how the experiences of women of color are frequently the product of intersecting patterns of racism and sexism, and how these experiences tend not to be represented within the discourse of either feminism or antiracism...

TL;DR: The authors discusses structural intersectionality, the ways in which the location of women of color at the intersection of race and gender makes their real experience of domestic violence, rape, and remedial reform qualitatively different from that of white women.
Abstract: Contemporary feminist and antiracist discourses have failed to consider the intersections of racism and patriarchy. To overcome this difficulty, an original approach is suggested here: that of intersectionality. In the first part, the paper discusses structural intersectionality, the ways in which the location of women of color at the intersection of race and gender makes their real experience of domestic violence, rape, and remedial reform qualitatively different from that of white women. The focus is shifted in the second part to political intersectionality, with the analysis of how both feminist and antiracist politics have functioned in tandem to marginalize the issue of violence against women of color. Finally, the implications of the intersectional approach are addressed within the broader scope of contemporary identity politics.

TL;DR: In this article, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals as well as those African-American women outside academe and provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde.
Abstract: In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. In Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals as well as those African-American women outside academe. She provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. The result is a superbly crafted book that provides the first synthetic overview of Black feminist thought.

TL;DR: The authors explored various analytical issues involved in conceptualizing the interrelationships of gender, class, race and ethnicity and other social divisions, and compared the debate on these issues that took place in Britain in the 1980s and around the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism.
Abstract: This article explores various analytical issues involved in conceptualizing the interrelationships of gender, class, race and ethnicity and other social divisions. It compares the debate on these issues that took place in Britain in the 1980s and around the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism. It examines issues such as the relative helpfulness of additive or mutually constitutive models of intersectional social divisions; the different analytical levels at which social divisions need to be studied, their ontological base and their relations to each other. The final section of the article attempts critically to assess a specific intersectional methodological approach for engaging in aid and human rights work in the South.
