Cultural Anthropology Gender Studies Latin American Studies Womens Studies violence against women gender violence intimate partner violence Lambayeque Peru domestic violence <p>Violence against women (VAW) is one of the world's most pervasive social problems. It is a cross-cultural phenomenon that is created, enacted, and experienced on many levels and to varying degrees. For this reason, ethnographic research on VAW is especially appropriate in order to develop nuanced understandings of each socio-cultural context.</p><p>In Lambayeque, a town on Peru's northern coast, intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is common. IPVAW is naturalized within Lambayecano society, making it particularly difficult to address. The naturalization of IPVAW also leads its reproduction from one generation to the next, as IPVAW is not often questioned or problematized. It is difficult for women to effectively resist IPVAW because it is woven into the multiple socio-cultural spheres of everyday life. Naturalized IPVAW can be understood as a form of intimate terror because of its strategic, intentional, coercive and often extreme nature that has particular effects on abused women and women in general.</p> 2010 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1289595836 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1289595836 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
