ABSTRACT

Feminist scholarship on gender violence in Latin America has elucidated its ubiquity and deep entrenchment within many societies, from the colonial encounter until the present day. As such, it remains important to enquire into the relationship between sociocultural norms and gender violence: how norms enable and legitimate gender violence, and how these norms can be reconfigured to resist gender violence. This article draws on Judith Butler’s work on normative violence to explore how norms enabled, legitimated and obscured the distinct repertoires of gender violence in Colombian civilian society and left-wing rebel group the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Butler’s theorization on how norms can be challenged, both through different gender performances and the revision of criteria of gender intelligibility, is then extended to understanding the emergence of resistance to gender violence in The Common Alternative Revolutionary Force, the political party which the FARC transitioned into in 2017.

摘要

关于拉丁美洲性别暴力的女权主义学术研究阐明了它在许多社会中的普遍性和根深蒂固的地位，从殖民遭遇到现在。因此，探究社会文化规范与性别暴力之间的关系仍然很重要：规范如何促成和合法化性别暴力，以及如何重新配置​​这些规范以抵制性别暴力。本文借鉴朱迪思·巴特勒（Judith Butler）关于规范暴力的工作，探讨规范如何在哥伦比亚平民社会和左翼反叛组织哥伦比亚革命武装力量 (FARC) 中启用、合法化和模糊不同的性别暴力行为。巴特勒关于如何通过不同的性别表现和性别可理解性标准的修订来挑战规范的理论，
