As a complement, the empirical material was analyzed with the following analytical tools; binary oppositions, dichotomies, gender of power, heteronormativity, the others and the principle of keeping apart. Our findings were that two discourses appeared in each of the documents. We found that in the discourse “girls and boys affects differently”, gender was significant in the construction of honour related violence in terms of it’s forms of expression. According to the discourse, girls and boys affects differently as victims of honour related violence due to their unequal positions in the patriarchal society. In the discourse “we and the others”, ethnicity was significant in the construction of honour related violence in terms of it’s underlying causes. With this discourse the authors described honour related violence as a problem existing in groups of people with origin in other countries than Sweden, as a consequence these groups of people became the underlying cause of the problem’s existence in Sweden.
The main title “Hold apart” refers to the common factor of the two identified discourses in the construction of honour related violence, both of which aim to separating groups of people. (Less)
