Abstract

We present an audience reception study of participant reactions to gender-based violence in Issa López' 2008 film, Casi Divas, chosen for its nuanced depiction of women grappling with several violences. Over three focus groups with 15 adult participants, we used Galtung's conflict theory to explore what participants identified as violence, and how victims should respond to violence in various forms. We find that participants have a narrow definition of violence, seeing it as an individualized act and therefore neglecting to consider its cultural or structural foundations. The participants' responses to violence largely reflected neoliberal values of personal empowerment and choice, resilience, and “leaning in.” We recommend critical visual literacy as a tool in the educational context to identify and address violence, to fight inequity, and to establish emancipatory discourses.

识别和解读性别暴力:伊萨-洛佩斯的《Casi Divas》观众接受研究中的视觉扫盲
伊萨-洛佩斯(Issa López)于 2008 年拍摄了一部名为《Casi Divas》的电影,因其细致入微地描绘了女性在多种暴力面前的挣扎而被选中。在 15 位成年参与者参加的三个焦点小组中,我们使用了加尔通(Galtung)的冲突理论来探讨参与者对暴力的定义,以及受害者应如何应对各种形式的暴力。我们发现,参与者对暴力的定义比较狭隘,认为暴力是一种个人化的行为,因此忽略了暴力的文化或结构基础。参与者对暴力的反应在很大程度上反映了新自由主义的价值观,即个人赋权和选择、复原力和 "靠拢"。我们建议将批判性视觉素养作为教育背景下的一种工具,以识别和解决暴力问题,消除不平等,建立解放性话语。
