“…Statements such as "romantic love is the precursor of violence against women," "women who suffer violence are those with low social and educational levels," and "the protection of the children hinders reporting a violent partner" have been disproved or are being refuted (Campbell, Rose, Kub, & Nedd, 1998;Hoff, 1990;Oliver & Valls, 2004;Padrós, 2012). The results of scientific research represent a significant step toward addressing violence against women: It has been recognized that women of all ages, cultures, and educational and socio-economic levels suffer from violence, that the men who are the perpetrators have very diverse profiles (R. Flecha, Puigvert, & Ríos, 2013) and that this violence occurs in different contexts (at work, at home, in education, etc.)…”

ArticleThe frequency of gender violence in 2013 was extremely high; 35% of women worldwide experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence (World Health Organization, 2013). Considerable research is being conducted to understand and ameliorate this situation. Yet, further research is needed to better identify the causes and consequences of gender violence and to analyze in-depth methods that can advance research. This special issue attempts to show how communicative methodology (CM) is contributing to this goal.In the 21st century, violence against women continues to occur, and new realities have emerged that affect younger girls. In the United States, the case of Amanda Todd, a 15-year-old girl, moved the entire world in 2012. Her online testimony 1 month before her suicide stated, "I have nobody. I need someone . . . " (Todd, 2012). A decision that she made at the age of 12 launched her into a vicious cycle that she could not escape. Her family attempted to help her by changing her school twice, but these efforts were in vain. Sexual harassment continued through social networks. Before her suicide, her peers called her "a bitch" and after, someone even posted photos of her, making fun of her death. Contrary to many other cases, her peers were aware of this harassment; however, nobody wanted or knew how to help Amanda.In Spain in 2005, Maria, a 12-year-old girl, asked her parents whether she could stop attending school. She was a good student with no apparent conflicts, which made her request confusing. However, long conversations between Maria and a relative revealed that 2 years earlier, in her last year of primary school, she agreed to sexual practices that were proposed by a boy whom she liked. After, three of his friends started to harass her for the same attention, and other boys soon followed suit. Her friends, who had originally encouraged her behavior, initially defended her from sexual harassment; however, her teachers and the families were unaware of the situation. Two years later, Maria's friend began dating one of the perpetrators, and they subsequently excluded Maria from their group of friends and referred to her as a "bitch." When her mother discovered what was happening, she recalled many situations related to these boys. For instance, she recalled seeing these boys looking at her and saying, "Look, it's her mom." She remembered smiling at them then, but was later horrified that she had been so wrong in her perception of reality, realizing that their smiles actually reflected their harassment of her daughter.This special issue of Qualitative Inquiry addresses these situations and many others that have not been widely acknowledged, using a CM to provide perspective about these cases. This special issue is the first of its kind; I have limited the contributions to research results that have been finalized and that focus on heterosexual relationships, primarily among youth and teenagers. With this compendium of articles, we contribute to the intern...

“…Dans le livre de Hoff (1990), le chapitre portant sur les changements survenus dans le réseau des femmes victimes de violence conjugale entre les moments « pendant » et « après » la relation violente présentait des conclusions discordantes. En procédant au découpage des étapes a posteriori et de manière inductive, la présente recherche a permis de déterminer quatre étapes significatives à partir desquelles se produisent les changements dans la structure et la qualité des relations des femmes.…”

“…Les relations entretenues avec chacune des personnes mentionnées ont été qualifiées à partir d'un outil dont le développement a été entrepris par Morselli et Tremblay (2004a, 2004b, puis ajusté dans le cadre d'une recherche portant sur les expériences délinquantes des jeunes à Montréal (Morselli, Gariépy et Gagnon, 2016). L'instrument permet de mesurer différentes dimensions relationnelles (discussion, respect, confiance, soutien, conflit) auxquelles des dimensions propres au contexte de violence conjugale, inspirées notamment de l'outil utilisé par Hoff (1990), ont été ajoutées (demande d'aide, confidences, valorisation, approbation). Pour chacune des dimensions relationnelles, les participantes étaient invitées à se prononcer au sujet de relations données (ex.…”

“…À ce jour, les analyses de réseaux demeurent toutefois quasi absentes de la littérature scientifique en violence conjugale. Quelques auteurs ont tenté d'intégrer cette méthodologie à leurs travaux (Hoff, 1990 ;Katerndahl, Burge, Ferrer, Becho et Wood, 2013), mais leurs résultats ont une portée limitée pour l'intervention.…”

Section: Introductionunclassified

“…Comparant les relations de femmes victimes de violence conjugale entre les périodes « pendant » et « après » leur relation violente, Hoff (1990) arrive à des résultats peu concluants, la proportion de relations positives restant stable, diminuant et augmentant dans des proportions semblables. Il est cependant possible que cette absence de résultats soit due à la petite taille de son échantillon (n = 5), ou à son utilisation d'une échelle standardisée alors que l'analyse de réseau permet l'utilisation de mesures précises telles la taille ou la contrainte structurelle.…”

L’évolution du réseau social des femmes victimes de violence conjugale

Cet article vise à analyser l’évolution du réseau social des femmes victimes de violence conjugale en référence au concept d’autonomie relationnelle, défini comme une liberté de choisir parmi un ensemble diversifié d’options. Des entrevues individuelles ont été réalisées avec 30 femmes victimes de violence conjugale, permettant de dégager quatre étapes à travers lesquelles leur réseau change dans le temps : la relation violente, la rupture, le suivi en maison d’hébergement et le post-suivi. Les données sont analysées à partir des mesures de contrainte et de contrainte dyadique, qui permettent de saisir dans quelle mesure les femmes sont enfermées dans leur réseau social et/ou dans des relations avec certains acteurs en particulier. La contrainte des femmes diminue avec la rupture et le passage en maison d’hébergement, puis augmente pour la période post-suivi. Les relations contraignantes, principalement négatives et mitigées pendant la relation violente et la rupture, deviennent de plus en plus positives avec le passage en maison d’hébergement et le post-suivi. Les implications de ces résultats pour l’intervention et la recherche sont discutées.
