Domestic violence is a significant threat to women’s survival. But Christian understandings of marriage often prevent women from resisting abusive relationships. Can the Church’s teaching on marriage be reshaped so that it helps women to survive, rather than encourage them to submit to their husband, bear their cross, or sacrifice themselves for the sake of their marriage? Focusing on everyday practices of marriage in two very different contexts: Argentina and England, Reimagining Theologies of Marriage in Contexts of Domestic Violence considers how Christian understandings of marriage as a covenant or sacrament relate to the lived experience of marriage. Drawing on Augustine’s notion of the goods of marriage, and on belief in the saving power of marriage, this book suggests that only when the wellbeing of bodies is central to a marriage can it have the power to save.

The Sexual History of the Global South explores the gap between sexuality studies and post-colonial cultural critique. Featuring twelve case studies, based on original historical and ethnographic research from countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the book examines the sexual investments underlying the colonial project and the construction of modern nation-states. Covering issues of heteronormativity, post-colonial amnesia regarding non-normative sexualities, women's sexual agency, the policing of the boundaries between the public and the private realm, sexual citizenship, the connections between LGBTQ activism and processes of state formation, and the emergence of sexuality studies in the global South, this collection is of great geographical, historical, and topical significance.

La violencia contra las mujeres es una problemática central en el marco de la equidad de género y de sociedades que aspiran a ser más igualitarias. Es en los años setenta y ochenta cuando se comienza a reconocer de manera generalizada la gravedad de este problema. En esta lucha, se enuncian como centrales los movimientos feministas y los estudios de género, que han denunciado esta situación como experiencias transversales en la vida de las mujeres. Con el fin de analizar críticamente las formas distintivas que cobra este fenómeno, el enfoque teórico feminista ha elaborado modelos para comprender y cuestionar el peso de la violencia en la vida de las mujeres. Justamente, dicho enfoque ha planteado la urgencia por considerar el género como un elemento constitutivo de las relaciones de poder. En este contexto, las ciencias sociales han tenido un papel fundamental al abordar esta temática, considerando y analizando la dimensión estructural y transversal a las dinámicas sociales de género. Desde estas bases, el presente libro tiene como objetivo ahondar en las reflexiones realizadas desde las ciencias sociales y sus disciplinas, tales como la psicología, sociología, antropología, historia y comunicación, para abordar la violencia de género, atendiendo de manera particular a cuáles han sido las principales reflexiones y nudos críticos que desde éstas se han enunciado. Así, este libro pretende ser un aporte para la discusión crítica de la violencia de género desde una mirada disciplinar, siempre comprendiendo que la erradicación de la violencia estructural contra las mujeres es un horizonte común a la sociedad, incluida la academia y las diversas instancias de investigación.

This book aims to expand and enrich understandings of violences by focusing on gendered continuities, interconnections and intersections across multiple forms and manifestations of men’s violence. In actively countering, both, the compartmentalisation of studies of violence by ‘type’ and form, and the tendency to conceptualise violence narrowly, it aims to flesh out – not delimit – understandings of violence. Bringing together cross-disciplinary, indeed transdisciplinary, perspectives, this book addresses how –what are often seen as – specific and separate violences connect closely and intricately with wider understandings of violence, how there are gendered continuities between violences and how gendered violences take many forms and manifestations and are themselves intersectional. Grounded by the recognition that violence is, itself, a form of inequality, the contributors to this volume traverse the intersectional complexities across, both, experiences of violent inequality, and what is seen to ‘count’ as violence. The international scope of this book will be of interest to students and academics across many fields, including sociology, criminology, psychology, social work, politics, gender studies, child and youth studies, military and peace studies, environmental studies and colonial studies, as well as practitioners, activists and policymakers engaged in violence prevention.
