- Title
Towards a Rearticulation of Women-as-Victims: A Thematic Analysis of the Construction of Women's Identities Surrounding Gendered Violence.
- Authors
Reich, Nina M.
- Abstract
This essay argues for a more sophisticated understanding of women's identities in relation to gendered violence. Inductive analysis of in-depth interviews with individuals from various organizations that attempt to end violence against women was conducted. First, the her-story of women being labeled and constructed as victims is explored. Second, articulation theory is advanced as a means of rearticulating women's identities. Third, excerpts from interviews with participants are analyzed. Finally, this study considers both the theoretical and practical implications of how the discursive and material constructions of women's identities affect strategies aimed at ending gendered violence.
