Disperse violence : gender-based violence and environmental violence
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper is part of the session Violence Regimes: Analysing the Multiplicity of Gendered Violence(s). Violence regime is a framework developed for analysing the multiplicity of violence(s) (Hearn et al 2018; Strid et al 2018).The framework concerns direct and indirect violence; across four pillars of comprehensiveness; across macro, meso and micro levels; often with increasing amount of time and space between act and impact; and vary in both manifestation and understanding of violence, extending the continuum of violence (Kelly 1988) across four pillars: Deadly, Damaging, Diffuse and Dispersed violence. Empirically, this paper explores manifestations of violence in the first and fourth pillar of the violence regime framework: deadly and direct forms of violence such as homicide, femicide and suicide; and dispersed manifestations not necessarily understood as violence, usually indirect, sometimes directed towards a group but with a less easily identifiable ‘victim’ or ‘object; manifestations not usually recognized as violence; e.g. environmental destruction. Two different cases will be discussed, 1) automobility and 2) killings of animals for food, both associated with negative impact on the environment.First, we examine the violent, damaging and deadly effects of automobility across country comparisons of the EU28. Second, we examine slow violence (Nixon 2011) and the levels of slaughtering of animals in relation to the levels of homicide, femicide and suicide through cross country comparisons of the EU28.The paper contributes to the violence regime framework analysing how manifestations of violence not usually understood as violence correlate with the most direct and deadly forms of violence.

UniSAFE D3.1 Theoretical and conceptual framework
- 2021
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- There are different understandings of both gender and gender-based violence in different national and organisational contexts. While recognising the potential conflicts and tensions emanating from different strands of epistemology, ontology and contexts, UniSAFE is primarily informed by a feminist understanding of both gender and violence.The aim of the UniSAFE theoretical and conceptual framework is to frame the overall study – including data collection and analysis on micro, meso and macro levels and their interrelations – and to highlight key debates and contestations in the research field of gender-based violence in RPOs (Research Performing Organisations, including universities). The framework is developed in order to contribute to the data collection and analysis of gender-based violence in academic environments and research workplaces in Europe.The underlying approach is multi-level and holistic, and informed by gender theory, intersectionality, and feminist violence studies: these are applied to both the collection and analysis of evidence, and to its operationalisation into tools and dissemination. Such an approach, in turn, requires approaching gender equality and gender-based violence in institutions from an organisational violence perspective, rather than approaching gender-based violence only from a gender equality perspective, or indeed an individualist perspective.To these ends, the UniSAFE theoretical and conceptual framework outlines the key concepts used in the project and proposes forms of gender-based violence to cover and the definitions for these forms, with the whole project anchored in feminist violence studies. It introduces the 7P model at the heart of the project, defining each of its elements in turn. How these concepts relate to each other are then provided, as well as an operationalisation in terms of different strands of data collection. This informs the work in the following work packages and assists in the systematisation of data collection and analysis.

Violence regimes : A framework for analysing multiple forms of violence and their relation
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper is one of five papers in the proposed session Violence Regimes: Analysing the Multiplicity of Gendered Violence(s). It theoretically explores and empirically tests the framework of violence regime to analyse the multiplicity of violence(s). Violence regime is a newly developed framework for analysing violence (Hearn et al. 2018; Strid et al. 2018). It concerns direct and indirect violence; across four pillars of comprehensiveness; across macro, meso and micro levels; often with increasing amount of time and space between act and impact; and varying in both manifestation and understanding of violence, as well as for policy implications, thus extending the continuum of violence (Kelly 1988):1. Deadly: manifestations of violence with potential to kill, usually direct and directed towards someone (has a ‘victim’ or ‘object’), as in deadly violence, e.g. homicide, femicide, death penalty;2. Damaging: manifestations of violence/violations with potential to harm or injury, usually direct and directed towards someone (as ‘victim’ or ‘object’), e.g. recorded violent crime, violence against the person, IPV and stalking;3. Diffuse: underpinnings to manifestations of violence, usually less direct, and directed towards a group, usually with an identifiable ‘victim’ or ‘object’, including e.g. legitimizations and regulations of violence; and 4. Dispersed: other manifestations not necessarily understood as violence, usually indirect, sometimes directed towards a group but with a less easily identifiable ‘victim’ or ‘object; manifestations not are not usually recognized as violence, e.g. environmental destruction.To develop and test the framework, we first construct a composite measure of violence, a so-called Violence Regime Index (Strid et al. 2019), and then cluster countries in terms of the four the pillars of violence. This serves to examine if and how the production of violence in different states constitutes distinct regimes, and to enable further comparisons and contrasts specifically related to violence and the welfare state Finally, the paper analyses different theorisations, manifestations and measurements of violence and their implications, and develops violence regimes as a fruitful approach and means to deepen the analysis of gender relations, gender domination, and policy.

Violence regimes : Analysing the multiplicity of gendered violence(s)
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- How do we approach violence as an issue for scientific research and a problem for professional practices? This introduction explores this through engagements with the framework of violence regime. It analyses different manifestations and measurements of violence and their implications, and develops violence regimes as a fruitful approach and as means to deepen the analysis of gender relations, gender domination, and policy. It concerns the ontology of violence and conceptualizes violence as inequality in its own right and as autotelic (Schinkel 2010). Violence regime is a relatively newly developed framework for analysing the multiplicity of violence(s) (Hearn et al 2018; Strid et al 2018). The framework concerns direct and indirect violence; across four pillars of comprehensiveness; across macro, meso and micro levels; often with increasing amount of time and space between act and impact; and vary in both manifestation and understanding of violence, extending the continuum of violence (Kelly 1988):Deadly: manifestations of violence with potential to kill, usually direct and directed towards someone (has a ‘victim’ or ‘object’), as in deadly (or minimal) violence; e.g. homicide, femicide, death penalty, and militarism; toDamaging: manifestations of violence/violations with potential to harm or injury, usually direct and directed towards someone (as ‘victim’ or ‘object’); e.g. recorded violent crime, violence against the person, IPV and stalking; and then Diffuse: underpinnings to manifestations of violence, usually less direct, and directed towards a group, usually with an identifiable ‘victim’ or ‘object’, including e.g. legitimizations and regulations of violence; and Dispersed: other manifestations not necessarily understood as violence, usually indirect, sometimes directed towards a group but with a less easily identifiable ‘victim’ or ‘object; manifestations not are not usually recognized as violence; e.g. environmental destruction. The first paper in the session sets out the violence regimes framework, as described above. The following four papers each engage empirically with a specific pillar and manifestation of violence regime. In combination, the five papers contribute to the development of methods and theory to better explore and explain difference sand similarities between multiple forms of violence, and their causes and consequences.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter presents an overview of feminist legal and political thought, aiming at discussing the different perspectives within feminist thought. In the first part, basic concepts in feminist thought such as gender, patriarchy, and feminism are explained, and a brief overview of the historical evolution of feminist movements is provided. The other two sections focus in greater detail on political and legal theories, respectively, including a critical analysis of the influence of patriarchy on mainstream legal and political discourses. The chapter will further provide a description of how classical concepts of political or legal tradition have been reconsidered from a feminist point of view, and a short presentation of the most important issues at stake in both these fields.

Complexities facing social work : Honor-based violence as lived reality and stereotype
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Journal of Social Work. - : Sage Publications. - 1468-0173 .- 1741-296X.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Summary: It is widely accepted that honor-based violence is a lived reality and a serious problem. However, honor-based violence is also a contested academic and political field, characterized by a polarized debate about whether or not the violence comprises stereotyping images of immigrants. This article asks how honor-based violence can be understood in light of this polarization, and what consequences it may have for clients and social workers. It is based on interview data with 235 adults with either professional (n = 199) or personal experiences (n = 36) of honor-based violence in Sweden. The data has been thematically coded and analyzed using the concepts of culturalization and intersectionality.Findings: Honor-based violence is simultaneously a lived reality and teeming with stereotypes that are constructed by culturalizing images of nation, gender, age, religion, and sexuality. These stereotypes constitute forms of violence themselves and decrease clients’ trust in society and its institutions. Hence, the stereotypes become obstacles to social workers’ capacity to support those exposed to violence. At a general level, the stereotypes contribute to retaining the exposed in violence. In contrast, intersectional approaches to understanding honor-based violence have the potential to capture clients’ self-perceived and complex formulations of the causes of, and the character of, their situation, and thus increase the possibilities for adequate support.Applications: The article's findings can support social workers’ understanding of the complexity of honor-based violence and strengthen their possibilities and capacities to develop antiracist and nonviolent communicative practices and, thus, acknowledge clients’ varying experiences and individual needs.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter deals with gender economics, gender and management, and genderand innovation. After introducing the general concept of feminist economics andits critique of mainstream economics, this chapter explains the meaning of genderindicators, gender parity, gender equality, and gender mainstreaming. It furtherinvestigates the factors causing inequalities in the labour market. Gender isafterwards addressed from a managerial perspective, embracing a multidimen-sional notion of performance, and considering both the management of privateand public organisations. Finally, the topic gender and innovation is deepened byexplaining the importance of intellectual property rights, as well as the poorvisibility of women inventors in society.
