Physical violence and online violation: Concepts, terminologies and comparison
2019 (English)Conference paper, Poster (with or without abstract) (Refereed)
Abstract [en]
The importance and centrality of measuring direct physical violence in the measurement and analysis of violence is well recognized and widely debated (Walby et al., 2016). Physical violence is clearly of utmost importance, yet is not the whole story; indeed, some victims/survivors of ‘domestic violence’ and gendered interpersonal violence report non-physical, psychological, emotional and other forms of non-(directly)physical violence may be more impactful (Herman, 2015). Such issues echo longstanding debates on gender violence(s), direct physical violence and other non-physical or less directly physical violences, for example, representational, psychological, coercive control, and link back to debates on representational violence, and especially pornography. But, with the proliferation of the various forms of online violences and abuses (for example, revenge pornography, upskirting, happy slapping, sexual spycamming), there is a need to explore the nature and limits of violence and violation by way of a comparison of online violence/abuse/violation and in-the-flesh physical and psychological violences. We argue that clarifying and untangling these differences may make it easier to draw comparisons with ‘domestic’/offline/fleshy abuse, as well as physical/non-physical violences, such as representational, psychological, coercive control, as well as attending to their overlaps, intersections and combinations.
