- Abstract
- The aim of this study is to explore narratives on violence in lesbian relationships. The study seeks to explore how stories and the act of storytelling can be used as a means to investigate a topic that has been discounted by focusing on the conditions and limitations for speaking.

The study seeks to explore how stories and the act of storytelling can be used as a means to investigate a topic that has been discounted by focusing on the conditions and limitations for speaking. The study consists of both a personal narrative about being in a relationship with violence and community-based perspectives on the subject. The main objective of the study is to conduct a methodological discussion on how to examine the topic with an emancipatory approach by including the narrator as an active participant in the research process. I found that dominant narratives on intimate partner violence shaped by a binary understanding of gender make it difficult to define, discuss and examine the violence that occurs in lesbian relationships. By using a theoretical perspective on narratives and feminist methodologies, the study purports that stories and the act of storytelling can be used as a method to negotiate meaning and agency for the narrator. Having the narrator take part as a research participant shaped the entire research process and had a positive impact on the narrator’s ability to process her experiences. (Less)
