中文摘要
本文採「建制民族誌」視角,採小團體觀察與深度訪談法,分析
婚暴處遇中男性的處境。探討「家暴防治法」所形成的「建制現實」
如何形塑機構專家與男性之間的「統治關係」。研究者從接受婚暴處
遇中的男性述說中發現,這些男性認為「婚姻衝突」的真實生活經驗
與家暴防治專家的各個建制目標之間有所「斷裂」。由婚暴處遇男性
所經驗的斷裂出發,研究者歸結出家暴網絡的四項建制觀點:(1) 社政
著重保護受暴女性;(2) 司法強調遏阻暴力行為;(3) 醫療針對行為矯
治;(4) 女性主義則聚焦性別暴力。本文發現,在司法的骨架和女性主
義的外衣之外,「行動中的法」其實是由社政(社工)、醫療(諮
商)來輔助司法,以達到當初各界催生立法的目的。分析這四項建制
觀點顯示,持傳統性別意識型態的男性,在建制中常被專家認為在淡
化或合理化其「暴力行為」,現行網絡卻無法有效斬斷父權社會中男
子氣概與其行為之間的牽連。研究發現,家暴處遇專家們若僅採「保
護女性」的「意識型態運作」將男性當作「加害者」個人行為問題來
看待,往往導致信任關係難以建立,影響處遇成果。研究者主張,暴
力與特定類型的男子氣概之生成,實為父權文化的性別產物,男性與
女性一樣,都處在父權的社會結構與文化脈絡中。因此,在家暴網絡
中,應該加入男子氣概與建制觀點的分析,才能建構更有效的家暴防
治體系,改善目前再犯率高的問題。
英文摘要
This paper analyzes wife batterers through the lens of Institutional
Ethnography. Using field observations in focus groups and in-depth
interviews, the researchers investigate the institutional realities constructed
by the Domestic Violence Prevention Program and the ruling relations
surrounding the professionals and wife batterers. The narratives of these
wife batterers reveal that there are experiences of disjunctures between the
lived experiences of wife batterers’ marriages and the professionals within
institutional realities. From these wife batterers’ experiences of
disjunctures, this paper demonstrates four perspectives within the
institutional discourse of the Domestic Violence Prevention Program: (1)
the institutional discourse of social work focuses on protecting the battered
women, (2) the institutional discourse of the legal system emphasizes
punishing violence, (3) the institutional discourse of the medical system
targets behavioral corrections, and (4) the institutional discourse of
feminism sees battering as a gender-based problem. Initiated by the feminist
agenda, the process of the institutionalization of domestic violence
prevention takes place with assistance from the legal system, the medical
system, and social workers. These institutional discourses reveal that
professionals tend to view those men with conservative gender values as
finding excuses for violent behaviors. The findings of this study indicate
that the current Program fails to deconstruct the connections between
violence andmasculinity, because violence and a certain type of masculinity
are products of patriarchy. This paper shows that the ideological practices
of “protecting women” might simply label men as abusers, but fail to build
trust between men and the professionals. To conclude, the researchers argue
that it is important to consider masculinity, class, and violence from a
gendered perspective when designing the Batterer Prevention Program to
lower the recidivism rate.
