En osynlig självklarhet - En diskursanalys av våld i nära relationer utifrån ett hbtq-perspektiv

- The aim of this study was to examine how the Swedish discourse regarding intimate partner violence affects people who identifies as homosexual, bisexual, transgender or queer (HBTQ/eng: LGBT) who are victims of intimate partner violence.

In order to do so I conducted a discourse-analysis using discourse theory as method. As empirical material I selected the public investigation Nationell strategi mot mäns våld mot kvinnor och hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck from 2015. Early in my study I found that international research as well as the public investigation focused on explanations for the violence based on heterosexual relationships. My findings were that the description of victims were female and heterosexual and that the description of perpetrators was male and heterosexual. I also found that people who identifies as homosexual, bisexual, transgender or queer are included in the public investigation but was excluded in the investigations using of “men’s violence against women” as the main explanation to intimate partner violence. In my analysis I used queertheory and theories of heteronormality to describe that this is because heterosexuality is seen as natural and is also why people who identifies as homosexual, bisexual, transgender or queer are excluded in the public investigation and in the discourse of intimate partner violence at large.
