Intimate Partner Violence in New Orleans: Gender, Race, and Reform, 1840–1900 examines the shifting nature of gender, race, and intimate partner violence in New Orleans—a place dramatically affected by countless social and cultural changes during six decades that encompassed the end of American slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the new and oppressive racial order that ushered in the twentieth century. The work utilizes documentation contained in local and state court cases to make new arguments about gender representation, legal reform, and the changing ways in which intimate partner violence was practiced and controlled and sanctioned and prohibited. It offers new insight to regional distinctiveness the South and race played into cultural and legal practices.Less

The diverse approaches to the Amazon collected in this book focus on stories of intimate, quotidian, interpersonal experiences (as opposed to those that take place between companies and nations) that, in turn, have resisted or else have been ignored by larger historical designs. This is why we propose a literary geography of the Amazon. In this space made out of historias, we will show the always already crafted, and hence political, ways in which this region has been represented in more “scientific”, often nationalizing histories. This includes, of course, understanding the “gigantic” discourses on Amazonia as rooted––if rarely discussed––in different quotidian, everyday experiences of a more intimate nature. The intimate interactions between one human being and another, or between men and animals, plants, or the natural space more generally as we see it, are not, as one might expect, comforting. Instead they are often disquieting, uncanny, or downright violent. This book argues that the Amazon’s “gigantism” lays not in its natural resources or opportunities for economic exploit, but in the richness that inhabits its archive of historias in the form of songs, oral histories, images, material culture, and texts.Less

The introduction outlines the meaning and rise of bioprecarity and the bioprecariat, here understood as those who seek help with bodily interventions and those who provide such interventions. It discusses core concepts of importance for this volume, including shifting understandings and regulations of the body and bodily interventions, questions of bodily ownership and of agency in the age of the commodification of the body, and the issue of power and unequal relations in the seeking and providing of help around bodily interventions. It also provides an overarching introduction to the chapters presented in this volume.Less

This book examines critical issues in prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV) at the individual, community, and systems levels. The contributors present an overview of the extant evidence from current evaluations of promising, innovative prevention programs, including those designed to meet the needs of underserved groups, in the United States and throughout the world, and ways that obstacles to prevention may be overcome. In addition, the contributors, who are researchers in a variety of disciplines along with practitioners in the field, discuss the meaning of "success" in relation to IPV prevention and how successful outcomes may be measured. The contributors present collaborative, interdisciplinary work to identify gaps in knowledge about IPV prevention, and to offer recommendations for future research on and prioritizing of prevention strategies.Less

The examination of families, communities, and institutions illustrates a larger social awareness about intimate partner violence. At the core of this change lay a shift in the family power dynamic. Essentially, in return for submission of one’s wife and children, family members believed men had to be protective and refrain from violently acting out against his wife. If a man violated this new understanding, he could not command respect or power from other members of the family. The larger community also acted: crowds frequently formed when members of the community overheard a domestic dispute. On a larger level, institutions began supporting these new gender expectations. Overall, society brought increased awareness and pressure on the problem of intimate partner violence, forcing the courts to act.Less

This chapter begins by reviewing the current theory regarding developmental models of crime and delinquency, and issues of persistence and desistance from adolescence into the early adult period. We argue that, whereas, the influential life-course persistent versus adolescence-limited model (Moffitt, 1993) has been valuable in summarizing some important features of criminal careers, this two-pathway model is not adequate to explain the heterogeneity that is being detailed in recent studies of crime trajectories into early adulthood. Evidence from the research suggests that persistence of offending into adulthood may be more common than these models predict. Further, early onset, in the data, was associated with both high- and low-level chronic offending. Several studies that employ Oregon Youth Study data are reviewed and a dynamic developmental systems approach to understanding criminal activity during the early adult years is introduced. In this model, persistence and desistance are expected to be influenced by experiences and transitions undergone from the early 20s to the early 30s with a strong emphasis on romantic partner influence.Less

The United States relies heavily on law enforcement to protect people subjected to intimate partner violence. The decision to prioritize law enforcement intervention may seem natural, but it is, in fact a political decision, with consequences along three dimensions. First, prioritizing the law enforcement response has precluded the development of other policies to address intimate partner violence. Second, channeling money into law enforcement helped to facilitate the growth of a hypermasculine, militarized environment where violence against women flourishes. Third, the decision to rely on law enforcement ignores research establishing that police officers are more likely than other groups to commit intimate partner violence. These political decisions have profound consequences for all people subjected to abuse, particularly the partners of police officers.Less

Tom Leonard and Linton Kwesi Johnson have made use of place-specific spoken language in their poetry, which is represented in the text through experiments with orthography and phonetics. Leonard uses ‘phonetic city dialect’ in Intimate Voices, and Johnson's poetry, as set out in Mi Revalueshanary Fren, brings together a Jamaican-English-speaking voice with a musically rooted ‘sound’. The language of Leonard's text seems principally to justify a class reading rather than a colonial one. The epithet ‘scruff’ in ‘Unrelated Incidents 3’ might be read as an attempt to reify class identity as a form of the ethnic labour, structuring the hierarchical divisions of labour by denoting class as an essentialist category. The comparison of Leonard and Johnson's dialect work suggests that the effort to undermine the linguistic hierarchies that have governed poetic form can be effectively utilised to expose the political lines of privilege that such hierarchies support.Less

This book examines the changing public policies concerning intimate partner violence (commonly called domestic violence) in heterosexual relationships through the lens of shifting gender roles in New Orleans from 1840 to 1900. In those sixty years, the concept of masculinity and femininity as well as race changed and fueled social and legal responses to abuse.Less

This chapter examines the tensions inherent in the U visa, a form of immigration relief that provides survivors of intimate partner violence a path to lawful status. Receipt of the U visa is contingent upon compulsory and continuing cooperation with law enforcement, which does not reflect the reality of the lives of many survivors of domestic violence, especially immigrant victims, who are uniquely unable, fearful or disinclined to engage with the state. As such, the vulnerabilities the U visa was intended to address are exacerbated and benefits to police and prosecutors are achieved at the expense of the victims Congress sought to protect.Less

The paradigm of the armed and dangerous mass killer in public opinion and legislation is a homicidal-suicidal stranger hunting in public. Yet half of all firearms-related homicides take place in the home, typically among intimates and people known to the slain. Drawing on data from the National Violent Death Reporting System, this chapter shows that even in the context of extraordinary violence by the homicidal-suicidal, the major early red flags and risk factors involve seemingly ordinary smaller-scale assaults and domestic disturbances. Firearms laws prevent individuals convicted of crimes of domestic violence or under court-issued restraining orders from possessing firearms. The problem is that many perpetrators never come to the attention of a court. Based on these findings regarding what current legal screens miss, this chapter discusses how police discretion and scene-of the-assault procedure for “ordinary” domestic violence can help prevent escalation to the feared extraordinary violence of homicidal-suicidal mass killings.Less

This chapter discusses how intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention programs can be adapted to recognize the experiences of underserved groups, including underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities; LGBTQ and other sexual minorities; and people with disabilities. The chapter also examines the development of culturally sensitive prevention techniques and approaches. The chapter considers various types of prevention strategies and how they may be tailored to account for the unique needs of diverse populations and communities. The chapter further emphasizes the need to recognize inter-group heterogeneity when developing prevention programs.Less

Rachel Daniel explores Madea’s popularity among Black women and also demonstrates how the character successfully functions at the center of Perry’s media output. She explores the many complicated and often contradictory layers of appeal that Perry’s performances of Madea encourage. In doing so, she grapples with some of the ideological and political limitations of this character by investigating Perry’s use of drag as a “false disguise” to perform Madea. Her exploration crests around the investigation of specific social and cultural values that motivate Perry’s unique construction of his famous character. In Daniel’s theorization, Perry’s fan base around Madea represents a powerful, critical, and vocal discourse community--an intimated public--that has supported the media mogul and his contested character despite rampant critiques of the character’s flawed presentation or of Perry’s motives in constructing her.Less

Despite the general principles of parental autonomy and privacy, domestic violence and child maltreatment invite police, lawyers, social workers, and judges into the most intimate spaces within a family. Domestic violence is described in terms of intimate partner violence, child maltreatment, and elder maltreatment. Because these topics would be sufficient for an entire separate book, this chapter focuses on the following specific issues related to these forms of domestic violence: domestic violence courts, corporal punishment, obesity as neglect, termination of parental rights, informal caregiving for elders, and mandatory reporting laws for elder maltreatment.Less

In both works, Sartre decenters the functions of realist representation from a position that is admittedly subjective, through a process of defamiliarization. Sartre also creates strange positions for his characters and makes language itself which served as the handmaiden of realism. Sartre's writing then, pointing toward 1939 as the war drums begin to sound, is a fitting closure to what we retrospectively see as that slightly displaced one hundred years of realism, from its beginning in 1830, an explanation for both modernity and history of realism's end in the heretofore unseen horrors of the Second World War. Not only was there no poetry after Auschwitz, there was not any realism either.Less

Sudhir Kakar agrees that there is a rupture between the private and the public in India, citing as an example izzat or honour of the family. He explains why homosexuality is seen as a deviation in India and yet transvestites are so easily accepted in Indian society. In his book, Intimate Relations, Kakar claims that sex is both loved and feared in India, where sexuality and morality have always been traditionally fused together. Kakar also discusses the distinction between the Oedipus complex and the Ganesha complex. He further talks about how the sexual and the erotic are intertwined in Bhakti poetry and expresses his views about Muslims and Hindus in India, mystical ecstasy and sexual ecstasy, mysticism, his novel Ecstasy where he tackles the historical relationship between Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, and whether Rabindranath Tagore’s methodology can be applied to Indian sexuality. He also talks about his translation of the Kamasutra and the flaws in Richard Burton’s translation.Less

This chapter reviews the evaluation research on restorative justice (RJ) in cases of intimate partner violence (IPV). The chapter examines evidence regarding how well RJ ensures the safety and immediate needs of IPV survivors, the extent to which survivors feel a sense of justice as a result of these practices, the ability of RJ practices to hold offenders accountable and to prevent further offending. The chapter describes the three most common forms of RJ and discusses evaluations of these practices, subsequently reviewing the research literature focusing specifically on RJ and IPV. The chapter also discusses some recent developments in RJ and other alternative approaches to crimes of sexual assault and severe violence.Less

The majority of Naomi Kawase’s documentary films are based on her own life experiences, leading to conclusions that they are entirely self-reflexive. The author argues that ‘they instead show an alternative way of constructing relationships among people’. She also claims that indicate a possibility to ‘go beyond the binarism between ‘individual’ and ‘society’’ by creating an ‘intimate sphere’ which transcends the general idea of societal discourse.Less
