O que eles dizem?: a violência doméstica contra as mulheres a partir do discurso dos homens agressores

Abstract

The target in this research is to understand the influence of masculinity constructs for the occurrence of domestic violence against women, through the speech representation of the analysis of male perpetrators of the acts, as well as the legal apparatus, which highlights the Maria da Penha law and finally identify the main motivations presented by male perpetrators of women within the privacy universe. It started from the hypothesis that men have difficulty verbalizing their emotions, especially when it comes to the marital relationship, because there are certain stereotypical boundaries of gender, limiting the externalization of uncertainties and insecurities as the needs of masculine identities. In addition, the use of violence is based primarily on socio-historical development of the male and ends up becoming legitimate apparatus of this group, whether at war or in defense of property. Thus, when there is the possibility of rupture of these constructs, the man who understands that this is an inviolable right, whether it's violence to ratify their will, because the dialogue on the problems experienced in everyday life are not, so far, a viable way to avoid such a clash and the need to exercise power through subjugation woman goes on to become recurrent and systematic. Therefore, this study used the theoretical framework that incorporates or at least close, concepts like masculinity (s) and violence in the discussions on gender, through the use of methodological tools that enable the understanding of social reality in its multiple expressions. In this work, the qualitative and quantitative approaches are complementary, although the qualitative perspective occupies a higher place in the hierarchy of themes and overlapping content with the research problem. This study also earned themselves the oral narrative for its methodological relevance to the topic of study. The qualitative basic research universe was Albam Institute, located in the city of Belo Horizonte/MG. Another time this study was performed based quantitative research conducted in the 10th Battalion of the Military Police of Minas Gerais State, located in the city of Montes Claros/MG. From the foregoing, the present study was divided into three chapters to explain more clearly the goals. It follows then that, through theoretical and empirical accumulation up, there is some association between the situation of violence and especially the passionateness understood here as fear or emotional dependency, your honor and the failure to recognize as "aggressors ". This work can shed light on new challenges regarding the process of understanding the forms are established practices of domestic violence against women.
