This Book Set consists of: *9781783501106 - Gendered Perspectives
on Conflict and Violence (Part A) *9781783508938 - Gendered
Perspectives on Conflict and Violence (Part B) The chapters in this
two-part volume offer understandings of the relationship between
violence and gender from the global to the domestic level. In Part
A the contributors address the ways in which wartime rape is
treated in international courts, why and how the gender language
used at the United Nations matters, how asylum-seekers fleeing
gendered violence are treated, how the press and the courts frame
rape and other acts of violence, perceptions and responses of and
to disabled and LGBTQ people who are victims of gendered violence,
the ways we respond to the perpetrators of violence, and the
relationship of military service to nationalism. In Part B, authors
trace the history of feminist antiviolence efforts, theorize the
reproduction of symbolic gender violence, and show how violence
might be re-conceptualized in comparative and intersectional
perspectives. They show how historical, cultural and religious
elements contribute to or complicate violence, how development
efforts can backfire, and how actions and techniques applied by
governments and NGOs can reduce or exacerbate violence.
