Abstract

Research on women's experiences of harmful cultural widowhood practices is limited even among feminists. The present study seeks to address this lacuna by qualitatively examining the accounts of 12 women survivors of violent widowhood rites in Nigeria. Participants took part in one-to-one interviews, and an interpretative phenomenological analysis identified four major themes of participants' experiences. A variety of experiences in terms of nature, length of widowhood rites, level of violence, hostilities, and intimidation were recounted by participants. Ideological patriarchy was found relevant in explaining women's acceptance and active involvement in inflicting violence on widows.

对寡妇的暴力：尼日利亚社区有害丧偶行为的解释性现象学分析。

即使在女权主义者中，对女性有害文化守寡实践经历的研究也很有限。本研究试图通过定性地审查尼日利亚暴力守寡仪式的12名妇女幸存者的叙述来解决这一空白。参与者参加了一对一的访谈，解释性现象学分析确定了参与者经历的四个主要主题。参与者讲述了在性质、守寡仪式的长度、暴力程度、敌意和恐吓方面的各种经历。意识形态上的父权制被认为与解释妇女接受和积极参与对寡妇施加暴力有关。
