| dc.description.notes | This article analyses domestic violence and battered women with philosophical and conceptual reference to Michel Foucault’s modernisation of power, the power of disciplinary institutions and practices in Discipline and Punish:. It argues that Sandra Bartky’s essay misses the fundamental importance in recognising that the most pervasive methods of maintaining power and control over women remain ‘pre-modern’ in Foucault’s terminology. It describes how battered women experience pre-modern and modern forms of power side by side: they have to deal with the terror by an all-powerful ‘sovereign’ but are also compelled to turn for help to modern institutions such as medicine, psychiatry and the police, which could re-victimise them by pathologising their condition. However, it goes on to argue that modern institutions are not without potential, for local resistance and transformation. | en |
