Kapittel 4. | | Innhold: | Abstract: Drawing on qualitative interviews, this chapter explores how women who
have lived with an abusive male partner talk about themselves in relation to the
violence they have experienced. Rather than portraying themselves as weak and
passive and therefore blameless ‘ideal victims’, many of the women we interviewed referred to themselves as remarkably strong or resourceful. We interpret these
self-representations as part of an ongoing work on the self that these women were
engaged in – to uphold their self-identity and social position as viable persons. The
self-representations are part of their ongoing respectability work. What strong or
resourceful meant had classed meanings, however. Middle-class women more often
referred to their investment in self-developing activities – activities that build on
and scaffold their middle-class identity and social standing, for instance engaging
in overwork and intensive parenting, or starting or graduating from university studies. In contrast, working-class women more often referred to their psychological robustness, and how it had protected them from mental illness, drug abuse or other problems. They talked about being tough and getting on with it without interference from other people. For both groups their respectability work had both positive and negative sides. It protected the women from stigma, but also made it more difficult for others to see that they needed help and to offer support.

Forskning, politikk og aktivisme har tradisjonelt vektlagt kjønn for å forstå og bekjempe vold i nære relasjoner. De siste årene har imidlertid andre sosiale dimensjoner fått økt oppmerksomhet.
Denne antologien presenterer ny forskning som belyser vold i nære relasjoner i et mangfoldsperspektiv. I ni kapitler analyserer forskere hvordan voldens art og omfang kan variere basert på et samspill mellom ulike sosiale dimensjoner, som klasse, etnisitet, kjønn, og seksuell orientering. Hvordan vi forstår og snakker om likhet, forskjell og mangfold, er et overordnet tema.
