This article explores structural constraints on knowledge production and practice among volunteer members of a community-based coalition in a southern U.S. state that addresses intimate partner violence among those whom identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT). Male violence against women is a serious social problem and sufficient support systems are lacking. The availability of competent support systems for LGBT-identified persons affected by intimate partner violence is even grimmer. In response to this epidemic, advocacy organizations have responded through policy, advocacy, service provision, education, and training. This article focuses on one community-based coalition to explore the ways hegemonic discourses interplay with organizational structure, fear, and a crisis mode orientation to shape the ways people advocate for social change and justice causes. This ethnographic research reveals the ways sociopolitical structures constrain members' willingness to explore alternatives outside of the hegemonic frameworks guiding understandings of and responses to intimate partner violence.

“在其他任何事情之前都应对危机”：将lgbt意识培养纳入反暴力工作的结构性限制

本文探讨了美国南部州一个社区联盟的志愿者成员在知识生产和实践上的结构性约束，该联盟致力于解决那些被确认为同性恋，双性恋和变性者（LGBT）的人之间的亲密伴侣暴力。男性对妇女的暴力行为是一个严重的社会问题，缺乏足够的支持系统。对于受到亲密伴侣暴力侵害的被LGBT身份识别的人来说，主管支持系统的可用性甚至更加微不足道。为了应对这种流行病，宣传组织通过政策，宣传，服务提供，教育和培训做出了回应。本文着重于一个基于社区的联盟，探讨霸权话语与组织结构，恐惧，危机模式导向，以塑造人们倡导社会变革和正义事业的方式。这项人种学研究揭示了社会政治结构如何限制成员在霸权框架之外探索替代方案的意愿，这些方案指导人们对亲密伴侣暴力的理解和应对。
