Scholars acknowledge that women oppose male intimate partner violence (IPV). Yet there is limited comprehensive knowledge regarding how women's bodies and embodiment, that is, their physical and emotional practices and the cultural and social systems that influence them, figure in this process. Our scoping review helps fill this gap by analyzing and synthesizing 74 research articles published in English-language scholarly journals between 1994 and 2017 to address three research questions: (1) How does existing IPV research conceptualize resistance? (2) To what extent do the body and embodiment appear in this research? and (3) What common themes emerge from investigation of the role of embodiment and the body in the context of IPV? The articles identify several subtypes of resistance strategies including avoidance, help-seeking, violent action, and leaving a violent relationship. The reviewed research also regularly describes women's physical and emotional states in the context of IPV. Only a small number of these texts, however, define or conceptualize embodiment. Our analysis of the manner in which the body figures in women's resistance to IPV yielded four themes: (1) , (2) , (3) , and (4) . We conclude with a discussion of policy and practice implications, such as the need to increase awareness about how institutions enforce embodied norms among victims and use the body to assign blame and/or proffer assistance in the context of IPV.
学者们承认女性反对男性亲密伴侣暴力行为（IPV）。然而，关于女性的身体与具体表现形式，即她们的身体和情感实践以及影响这些实践的文化和社会系统，在这一过程中如何体现，目前全面的相关知识有限。我们的范围综述通过分析和综合1994年至2017年间发表在英文专业学术期刊上的74篇研究文章，来回答三个研究问题，从而填补这一空白：（1）现有的亲密伴侣暴力行为研究如何界定抵抗行为？（2）身体与具体表现形式在该研究中出现的程度如何？（3）在亲密伴侣暴力行为的背景下，对具体表现形式和身体的作用进行调查后出现了哪些共同主题？这些文章确定了几种抵抗策略的子类型，包括回避、寻求帮助、暴力行为以及离开暴力关系。所审查的研究也经常描述亲密伴侣暴力行为背景下女性的身体和情感状态。然而，这些文本中只有少数对具体表现形式进行了定义或概念化。我们对身体在女性抵抗亲密伴侣暴力行为中所起作用的分析产生了四个主题：（1） ，（2） ，（3） ，以及（4） 。我们最后讨论了政策和实践意义，比如需要提高人们对机构如何在受害者中强化具体规范，以及在亲密伴侣暴力行为背景下如何利用身体来归咎责任和/或提供援助的认识。
