    Social dynamics, gendered subjectivities, and surreptitious acts of agency from women to face intimate partner violence in a rural community of Peru
    (SAGE Publishing, 2022-12-06)
    The article analyzes women's inner subjective processes while engaged in male-to-female intimate partner violence (IPV) situations. Through in-depth interviews with 12 women who had suffered violence in a rural community in Peru, it examines three topics: social dynamics that simultaneously contribute to resist within and openly question IPV, the transformations of hegemonic femininity in the community and the implications on their gendered subjectivities, and women's surreptitious acts and processes of agency to recalibrate power within their situation of IPV. In conclusion, women experience inner psychic tensions about themselves, their partners, and their relationships, which enables them to question IPV while resisting within the violent situation.

    Entangled territorial controversies: Contesting mining, territorial ordering, and authority in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024-10-01)
    This article examines territorial disputes in the Palajunoj Valley of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala's second largest city located in the western highlands. Drawing on our field research, we explore how dominant territory-making practices and indigenous-led resistance play out over an emerging municipal territorial ordering plan that gets interwoven with disputes over large-scale mining, waste disposal, and municipal authority amid wider urban–rural marginalization and tensions. We innovatively combine the notions of territory, territorial ordering governmentality, and the echelons (or levels) of rights framework to unpack the different layers on which dominant actor alliances’ territorialization strategies and the responses of territorial defense movements emerge. Departing from an understanding that the disputes in the valley are not only about resources, but also entwine struggles over rules, authority, and discourses, we make a twofold argument. First, we argue that the ruling-group's existing territory-making practices and new territorial ordering techniques coincide across the echelons, building on and reinforcing stark power imbalances. Second, we argue that indigenous-led, territory-based resistance movements engage in diverse strategies of contestation to articulate shared concerns around externally-imposed territorial interventions across echelons, but are challenged by micropolitical fragmentation, threats and instances of violence, and fragile multi-scalar support networks. Our analysis suggests that future territorial defense depends on the strengthening of multi-scalar and multi-actor alliances that – while acknowledging difference and tensions within and among resisting actors − devise their strategies along the four interconnected echelons and articulate their concerns in converging yet plural resistance strategies.

    “Not broken, just silenced”: Empowerment among adolescent mothers institutionalized after sexual violence in Peru
    (SAGE Publishing, 2026-01-01)
    This study examines, through a feminist empowerment lens, the trajectories that lead Peruvian adolescent mothers into institutional care following pregnancies resulting from sexual violence, and their lived experiences within these settings. Using a qualitative case study design, the research was conducted in a state-accredited protection institution in Lima. Nine adolescent mothers aged 13 to 17 participated in structured observations and group interviews conducted together with in-depth interviews with one adolescent and two institutional authorities. The findings identified three key moments across a continuum of violence and care: sexual violence within the family, disclosure and engagement with legal and health systems, and life inside the institution. Across these phases, participants encountered multiple forms of revictimization, including within institutions meant to provide care. At the same time, the study documents expressions of resistance and agency, including disclosure, peer solidarity, and collective care. These practices illustrate forms of “power from within” and “power with” that emerge under conditions of profound constraint. Rather than positioning institutionalization as protective by default, the analysis shows how care is often delivered through paternalistic and controlling logics that limit autonomy. The study contributes to feminist psychology by conceptualizing empowerment as relational, situated, and negotiated within institutional contexts.
