"Is This Violence?" Subtlety, Doubt, and the Struggle to Narrate Transgressive Behavior in Denmark.
Based on multi-sited fieldwork in Denmark, I explore how Danish women and men negotiate their positions as potential victims of intimate partner violence: in particular, psychological violence. First, focusing on retrospective stories about everyday life, I argue that violence may be experienced as subtle and not necessarily noisy. Second, by turning my attention to public narratives about psychological violence, I demonstrate that they often fail to align with the interlocutors' stories. This, I suggest, can lead to transgressive behavior being interpreted as nonviolence. This article offers a detailed analysis of the subtle micro-mechanisms that underpin the first manifestations of violence.
期刊介绍:
Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
