Everyday Violence in Central America as Seen Through the Life of One Woman

We are both women and Kurd: An intersectional analysis of female Kolbars challenges in Iranian Kurdistan amid the COVID crisis

“…Therefore, I relied on one story to illuminate the embodied intersectional and affective experience of Banaz, a female Kolbar who is the sole breadwinner for her four children living in a border village in Kurdistan Province. My approach is inspired by recent scholarship in the social sciences that critiques numerous global discourses using the narrative of a single socially disadvantaged and disfranchised woman (Enriquez, 2017; Mandalaki, 2021; Mandalaki & Prasad, 2022; Millar, 2014).…”

“…I rely on the story of one female Kolbar because it is a community that is difficult to access and thus it was difficult to find women who are willing to talk about their lives and challenges. My approach is motivated by current research in the field that has used a single narrative of a female participant to reveal richly contextual and embodied experiences (Enriquez, 2017; Liu, 2021; Mandalaki, 2021; Mandalaki & Prasad, 2022; Millar, 2014). In line with this stream of research, I attempt to present the qualitative data in a way that centers the embodied individual, her difficulties and pains, and her fight for survival.…”

Colonization, migration, and right-wing extremism: The constitution of embodied life of a dispossessed undocumented immigrant woman

“…Heeding calls from scholars in organization and management studies to subvert conventional modes of academic writing (Phillips et al, 2014; Prasad, 2016; Pullen and Rhodes, 2008; Rhodes, 2019; Vachhani, 2019) and inspired by recent works in the social sciences that critique myriad global discourses using the narrative of a single socially disenfranchised woman (Enriquez, 2017; Millar, 2014), the aim of this essay is to illuminate the lived experience of Victoria—an undocumented immigrant woman of Mexican origin working and living in the United States. Drawing on an in-depth interview conducted with Victoria shortly after the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, we identify a set of discursive and material conditions that pivotally inform the subject’s lived reality.…”

An Essay on «Sub-Personality»: a Two-Time Attempt to Speak about Violence

“…Исследование, для которого брались обсуждаемые в этом эссе интервью, выполнено в качественной методологии и призвано объяснить социальные механизмы гомофобного насилия. Именно качественные исследования ненавистнических преступлений актуальны сегодня для улучшения понимания причин, следствий и опыта переживаемого негетеросексуальными людьми насилия, поскольку эта тема остается малоисследованной и требует насыщения данными разного рода, в том числе антропологическим описанием опыта насилия (Enriquez 2017). Тем не менее, использование качественных методов для изучения опыта перенесенного насилия встречает ряд сложностей из-за сензитивности темы (Здравомыслова, Тёмкина 2016).…”
