Includes bibliographical references (leaves 85-92). The rate of violence against women by intimate male partners is extremely high in South Africa. Although violence against women has been researched from a variety of perspectives, little research has been done in South Africa on the discourses that women draw on to understand the violence. This research investigated how women in violent relationships make meaning out of the violence by examining the discourses that women draw on to understand the violence. Using feminist post-structuralist theory as the epistemological framework, a discourse analysis was conducted on seven in-depth interviews with heterosexual women who had been in violent romantic relationships. 2015-01-15T11:31:24Z 2015-01-15T11:31:24Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12229 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
