Sandra Glammeier – författare

Violence in its various forms is a concern for social work in all fields of action. Professionals have a particular responsibility when the violence arises in the context of a structural power relationship, as when it is exercised against children in families, in couple relationships or in institutions. The book brings together current knowledge about this violence: It clarifies terminology and provides an overview of the manifestations, prevalence, consequences, sources and conducive conditions as well as the legal aspects of violence. With reference to the three contexts, the particular dynamics of violence are analyzed and conclusions for prevention and intervention are drawn. The textbook thus provides the basic knowledge about violence in dependency relationships and offers impulses for practice at the same time.

Sandra Glammeier analysiert den Zusammenhang von Gewalt und der Konstruktion von Geschlecht auf der Basis einer „integrativen theoretischen Perspektive der Verleiblichung von Herrschaft“. Auf der Grundlage einer qualitativen Studie geht die Autorin der Frage nach, unter welchen Bedingungen Gewalt gegen Frauen als Normalität möglich ist bzw. wie Frauen zu Objekten oder Opfern von Gewalt werden und wodurch Widerstand möglich wird. Die rekonstruktive Analyse des Datenmaterials macht Handlungsorientierungen, Realitätskonstruktionen und Subjektpositionen gewaltbetroffener Frauen nachvollziehbar.
