Violence gratuite et adolescents-bourreaux : R��ception, traduction et enjeux de deux romans su��dois pour adolescents, en France, au d��but des ann��es 2000

The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the role of Swedish literature for adolescents in the French literary scene in the early 2000s. The sociology of literature constitutes the main theoretical framework of this thesis. Drawing from examples that broach the sensitive topic of "unprovoked violence" as it is treated in two Swedish novels for teenagers, Spelar d��d [Play Death] by Stefan Casta and N��r t��gen g��r f��rbi (Train Wreck) by Malin Lindroth, this thesis shows how these novels are innovative in Even-Zohar���s sense of the term, as addressed in his Polysystem Theory (1990). By introducing "unprovoked violence" and violent teenagers via a realistic genre, such works filled a vacuum in the French system and injected a new dynamic into it. This dynamic makes it possible for new literary models to be introduced in the system and to change the standards of that system. The analyses of the French and Swedish receptions of the two novels mentioned above show that they gave rise to a moral panic in France, which is not an unusual thing to happen in periods of ongoing change. This also clarifies the differences in norms between the two systems. The French system tends to reject dark topics, while the Swedish wishes to discuss them. The investigations of the translations of unprovoked violence show that adherence to Swedish norms determine the translation���s adequacy (Toury), which may be part of the reason for the stormy reception the two works received in France, and their undergoing censure. The position of translators and publishers in the literary system also plays a major role for a translated text not being censured during the transfer from one system to another. Even if the Swedish titles translated into French are few, this thesis shows that the impact of Swedish literature on adolescents in France is certain. By introducing new and sensitive topics, such novels could be early markers of an evolution of the French field of literature for adolescents.

L�����volution du cadre juridique relatif �� la violence sexuelle commise �� l�����gard des femmes en droit international p��nal

Dans ce texte sera abord��e l�����volution du cadre juridique relatif �� la violence sexuelle commise �� l�����gard des femmes en droit international p��nal. Une analyse juridique, adoptant une approche historique et f��ministe, sera d��velopp��e �� l�����gard du traitement de la violence sexuelle commise �� l�����gard des femmes par les tribunaux p��naux internationaux suivants : le Tribunal militaire international de Nuremberg, le Tribunal militaire international de Tokyo, le Tribunal p��nal international pour l���ex-Yougoslavie, le Tribunal p��nal international pour le Rwanda ainsi que la Cour p��nale internationale. Le d��veloppement du droit international humanitaire et du droit international des droits de la personne, �� la suite de la Deuxi��me Guerre Mondiale, sera ��galement analys�� �� cet ��gard. Il sera expos�� que la violence sexuelle commise �� l�����gard des femmes a fait l���objet d���un silence historique, en droit international p��nal, qui a persist�� jusqu����� l�����laboration du Statut de Rome de la Cour p��nale internationale. Ce dernier Statut est synonyme d���une ��volution normative marquante, bien que plusieurs obstacles et d��fis soient encore �� relever.

The ���peaks and troughs��� of societal violence: Revisiting the actions of Turkish and Kurdish shopkeepers during the 2011 London riots

This article examines an instance of contained violence during the 2011 riots in London, when Turkish and Kurdish ���shopkeepers��� in Dalston, East London prevented rioters from entering the area. Introducing a ���peaks��� and ���troughs��� approach to the sociological study of violence, the article argues that we need to look at the troughs of non-violence in order to understand the peaks of violence and vice-versa. Based on a small-scale empirical study, this article also shows that contrary to the dominant representation of social actors playing fixed roles during social unrest, we found shifting positions and blurred boundaries in the drama of the 2011 riots. The paper demonstrates that the instance of contained violence in Dalston was informed by three types of reverberations. Firstly, we identified anticipatory reverberations, as the shopkeepers were aware of concurrent events elsewhere in London and, as a result, anticipated rioting in Dalston. Secondly, we saw experiential reverberations, as they used their own experience of unrest in Turkey to inform their behaviour. Finally, the representation of the action of the shopkeepers in traditional and social media may have contributed to the containment of violence elsewhere in England, suggesting representational reverberations.

Investigating Links Between Intimacy and Violence in Intensive Psychotherapy

This research examines links between intimacy and violence within the transference relationship of a three year old boy during intensive psychotherapy. Psychoanalytic clinical findings are used to examine triggers to violence that initially appeared to link with moments of emotional warmth. The research uses a retrospective single case study design. The clinical data cover a period of transition in the child's life from being a 'looked after child' in foster care to being adopted. There was a history of early trauma from neglect and domestic abuse. Clinical process notes from supervised sessions were coded using an adapted grounded theory approach to reveal complex interlinking themes of intimacy, violence, Oedipal issues, control and difficulties regulating affect. Data in this study show how intimacy and violence are linked when there is evidence of a separation between the self and the object of intimacy. Explosive violence is triggered by the threat of loss of the object and the rage is, at times directed towards the object of intimacy. The findings of this study support concepts identified by earlier research in the field about the impact of a lack of maternal containment on innate violence, associated struggles with the Oedipal complex and the impact upon the capacity for symbol formation and thinking. However, the research findings challenge Glasser's (1979) theory of the 'core complex' that suggests that intimacy triggers violence. The results of this research indicate that it is the threat to the loss of intimacy as a result of separation from the object that is the trigger to violence. I believe this study may, in a modest way, further understanding about links between violence and intimacy in human relationships. This may help other child psychotherapists be alert to certain dangers when dealing with violence in the therapy room.

Intimate Partner Violence and Pregnancy Intentions: A Qualitative Study

Aim and Objective In this qualitative study we explored women���s pregnancy intentions and experiences of intimate partner violence before, during and after pregnancy. Background Unintended pregnancies in the context of intimate partner violence can have serious health, social and economic consequences for women and their children. Design Feminist and phenomenological philosophies underpinned the study to gain a richer understanding of women���s experiences. Methods Eleven women who had been pregnant in the previous two years were recruited from community-based women���s refuges in one region of the United Kingdom. Of the eleven women, eight had unplanned pregnancies, two reported being coerced into early motherhood, and only one woman had purposively planned her pregnancy. Multiple in-depth interviews focused on participants��� accounts of living with intimate partner violence. Experiential data analysis was used to identify, analyse and highlight themes. Results Three major themes were identified: men���s control of contraception, partner���s indiscriminate response to the pregnancy, and women���s mixed feelings about the pregnancy. Participants reported limited influence over their sexual relationship and Accepted Article This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. birth control. Feelings of vulnerability about themselves and fear for their unborn babies��� safety were intensified by their partners��� continued violence during pregnancy. Conclusion Women experiencing intimate partner violence were more likely to have an unintended pregnancy. This could be attributed to male dominance and fear, which impacts on a woman���s ability to manage her birth control options. The women���s initial excitement about their pregnancy diminished in the face of uncertainty and ongoing violence within their relationship. Relevance to clinical practice Women experiencing violence lack choice in relation to birth control options leading to unintended pregnancies. Interpreting the findings from the victim-perpetrator interactive spin theory of intimate partner violence provides a possible framework for midwives and nurses to better understand and respond to women���s experiences of violence during pregnancy.

��valuation des effets d'un programme de pr��vention primaire de la violence dans les relations amoureuses aupr��s des adolescents

Cette recherche porte sur l'��valuation des effets d'un programme de pr��vention primaire de la violence dans les relations amoureuses aupr��s des adolescents d'une ��cole secondaire de l'Outaouais. Un ��chantillon de 162 ��l��ves de troisi��me et quatri��me secondaire a particip�� �� la recherche: 76 sujets du groupe exp��rimental ont ��t�� soumis �� la formule courte du programme V.I.R.A.J. (Violence dans les Relations Amoureuses des Jeunes) et 86 autres sujets ont constitu�� le groupe contr��le. Les r��sultats obtenus indiquent la pr��sence de progr��s significatifs dans le groupe exp��rimental, sur le plan des connaissances, de m��me que des diff��rences significatives entre les gar��ons et les filles sur le plan des attitudes ��galitaires, contr��lantes et des connaissances. Malgr�� une pr��dominance de la violence verbale, les r��sultats montrent aussi que la violence dans les fr��quentations amoureuses des adolescents est aussi pr��sente sous ses autres formes (psychologique et physique). Certaines diff��rences li��es au fait que l'on ait ��mis, subi ou observ�� des comportements de violence (verbale, psychologique et physique) sugg��rent que l'on est beaucoup plus t��moin de violence, et cela sous toutes ses formes, que victimes ou agresseurs. Ces r��sultats indiquent aussi que les filles rapportent ��tre davantage t��moins que les gar��ons de violence verbale et psychologique.

Recherche des facteurs facilitant la r��duction de l���agressivit�� et la violence �� l'��cole primaire

On entend souvent affirmer que l'agressivit�� et la violence s'amplifient de nos jours. Comme la plupart des soci��t��s modernes, le Qu��bec n'��chappe pas �� la recrudescence de la violence sous toutes ses formes. Ses manifestations sont de plus en plus fr��quentes et elles affectent l'��ducation d��s l'��cole primaire. �� l'��cole De La Chanterelle, o�� je suis directrice, notre milieu scolaire (parents, professeurs et direction) s'inqui��te depuis quelques temps des diff��rentes manifestations de violence observables dans nos murs. Les explications de ce ph��nom��ne demeurent confuses et parfois contradictoires et de l�� les solutions difficiles �� trouver. Par ailleurs, selon Jean-Marc Domenach, l'agressivit�� et la violence dans le milieu scolaire ne seraient pas plus grave aujourd'hui qu'autrefois. "La condition humaine en a toujours ��t�� une de violence. Ce qu'il y a de nouveau, c'est qu'on cherche aujourd'hui une racine commune aux manifestations de violence. La conscience de la violence, l���intol��rance de la violence sont des ph��nom��nes r��cents". [���]

The Effect of Psychological Distance on Willingness to Engage in Ideologically Based Violence

Research on the cognitive and decision-making processes of individuals who choose to engage in ideologically based violence is vital. Our research examines how abstract and concrete construal mindsets affect likelihood to engage in ideologically based violence. Construal Level Theory (CLT) states that an abstract mindset (high-level construal), as opposed to a concrete mindset (low-level construal), is associated with a greater likelihood of engaging in goal-oriented, value-motivated behaviors. Assuming that ideologically based violence is goal-oriented, we hypothesized that high-level construal should result in an increased likelihood of engaging in ideologically based violence. In the pilot study we developed and tested 24 vignettes covering controversial topics and assessed them on features such as relatability, emotional impact, and capacity to elicit a violent reaction. The ten most impactful vignettes were selected for use in the primary investigations. The two primary investigations examined the effect of high- and low-level construal manipulations on self-reported likelihood of engaging in ideologically based violence. Self-reported willingness was measured through an ideological violence assessment. Data trends implied that participants were engaged in the study, as they reported a higher willingness to engage in ideologically based violence when they had a higher passion for the vignette's social issue topic. Our results did not indicate a significant relationship between construal manipulations and level of passion for a topic.

Writing Violence: the legal, moral and aesthetic Implications of creative non-fiction.

This essay began as a hybrid critical/creative paper that was presented as part of an all-female panel discussing the intersections between writing and extreme violence. My own paper was on the relationship between my creative nonfiction novel The Museum of Atheism and the real life murder of six-year-old beauty queen, JonBenet Ramsey. This essay is an attempt to represent the writing process of the creative nonfiction author, and to consider the ways in which critical theory can be used to highlight, or conversely obscure, fictional writing. In addition to considering the effect of using a real story, a true crime, as the basis for a semi-fictional work, this essay will also consider the relationship I had as a writer to my publisher, editor and agent, and their interventions in the writing process to ensure that facts were deliberately skewed or warped in order to avoid litigation. Finally, I will consider my own relationship to the material, and the impact that this had on the writing process.

Reproducing violence: Rihanna, Chris Brown and the aestheticisation of the Ciudad Juarez Femicides.

When Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte worked with MAC to create their Autumn/Winter 2010 makeup collection and based their ideas on the murdered women of Ciudad Juarez, there was a public and industry outcry which led to the withdrawal of cosmetics with names such as ���Factory��� ���Juarez��� and ���Ghost Town���. Rodarte tapped into the borderland mythologies of Juarez and crated an illusory fantasy world which sought to simultaneously obliterate and venerate the dead women. One eyeshadow, ���Bordertown���, appears to look like chunks of rotting flesh streaked with blood. The models for their catwalk show had hollow blackened eyes, green-white pallor and lips that had been bloodlessly ���lip-erased��� with a product specifically designed for the purpose. In Spanish, maquillar is to make up, to assemble. The women in the factories are asked to repeat simple mechanical operations thousands of times a day to make up the products which will be sold by global corporations. At the same time their images are being assembled, made up and aestheticized to create a cosmetic erasure of the crimes which they are subject to. When two American women and a global company make profit from this dangerous cosmetic erasure in order to sell products, the borders between bodies, countries, art and crime become leaky through the act and the illusion of symbiosis between the women of Ciudad Juarez and the products they inspired is threatened by the haunting of exploitation. Since then, the situation has become more complex. Chris Brown got a neck tattoo, based, he says, on the promotional material produced by MAC for the Rodarte sisters campaign. The image, which is of a skull, bears a striking resemblance to the police photographs of his ex, and now current, girlfriend, superstar Rihanna. The controversy over gendered violence, race and exploitation, begun by Rodarte and MAC, came back, haunting, once again. This paper seeks to address these connections, and ask what happens when domestic violence collides with globalism, fashion and murder.

Violence against Women Policy and Practice in Uganda - Promoting Justice within the Context of Patriarchy

The goal of this study was to understand how and whether policy and practice relating to violence against women in Uganda, especially Uganda���s Domestic Violence Act of 2010, have had an effect on women���s beliefs and practices, as well as on support and justice for women who experience abuse by their male partners. Research used multi-sited ethnography at transnational, national, and local levels to understand the context that affects what policies are developed, how they are implemented, and how, and whether, women benefit from these. Ethnography within a local community situated global and national dynamics within the lives of women. Women who experience VAW within their intimate partnerships in Uganda confront a political economy that undermines their access to justice, even as a women���s rights agenda is working to develop and implement laws, policies, and interventions that promote gender equality and women���s empowerment. This dissertation provides insights into the daily struggles of women who try to utilize policy that challenges duty bearers, in part because it is a new law, but also because it conflicts with the structural patriarchy that is engrained in Ugandan society. Two explanatory models were developed. One explains factors relating to a woman���s decision to seek support or to report domestic violence. The second explains why women do and do not report DV. Among the findings is that a woman is most likely to report abuse under the following circumstances: 1) her own, or her children���s survival (physical or economic) is severely threatened; 2) she experiences severe physical abuse; or, 3) she needs financial support for her children. Research highlights three supportive factors for women who persist in reporting DV. These are: 1) the presence of an ���advocate��� or support 2) belief that reporting will be helpful; and, 3) lack of interest in returning to the relationship. This dissertation speaks to the role that anthropologists can play in a multi-disciplinary approach to a complex issue. This role is understanding ��� deeply and holistically; and, articulating knowledge generated locally that provides connections between what happens at global, national and local levels.
