This study gathered data by interviewing women who had left abusive relationships. Analysis of the discursive resources used by participants indicated that their constructions of the abusive situation were influenced by wider social and cultural discourses. Some of these maintained participants in their abusive relationships and gave rise to dilemmas that reduced their ability to deal with the situation. Other discourses promoted self-reliant ways of behaving. These helped participants to leave the abusive situation and encouraged a self-construction of personal strength and agency. The role of social discourses in how women deal with abuse and the implications of this are discussed.
本研究通过采访离开虐待关系的女性来收集数据。对参与者使用的话语资源的分析表明,他们对虐待情况的构建受到更广泛的社会和文化话语的影响。其中一些话语使参与者继续处于虐待关系中,并引发了困境,从而降低了他们处理这种情况的能力。其他话语则倡导自力更生的行为方式。这些话语帮助参与者离开虐待关系,并鼓励他们对个人力量和自主性进行自我构建。讨论了社会话语在女性处理虐待问题中的作用及其影响。
