A study of institutional devices, it focuses on women's practices of resistance and the elicitation of intelligible subjectivities. Using Italy as an illustrative case, Alessandra Gribaldo explores the problematic encounter between the need to speak, the entanglement of violence and intimacy, and the way the law approaches domestic violence. On this basis, she advances theoretical reflections on questions of evidence, persuasion, and testimony, and their implications for ethnographic theory. Gribaldo analyzes dynamics that create the victim-subject, shedding light on how the Italian legal system reproduces broader conditions of violence against women. This book will be of great interest to all social scientists concerned with gender and the law. 410 $aEssays in Ethnographic Theory 606 $aEvidence, Criminal$zItaly 608 $aPoetry$2lcgft 615 0$aEvidence, Criminal 676 $a345.4506 700 $aGribaldo$b Alessandra$0615981 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910647599703321 996 $aUnexpected subjects$93085865 997 $aUNINA
