摘要

Drawing on 12 months of fieldwork conducted in Guatemala's Metropolitan Area among indigenous and ladina women, this dissertation offers an ethnographic analysis of violence and women's lives in post-war urban Guatemala. First, this dissertation examines the ways in which intersecting processes of violence -- political, structural, symbolic, everyday and gender-based -- are experienced by women and shape the different dimensions of their everyday lives. Second, I analyze the interplay between collective and individual memories of war and how these are drawn upon by individuals and communities in their reconstructions of daily life in Guatemala City today. Third, this thesis concerns the production of knowledge and circulation of discourses surrounding the phenomenon of gender-based violence in post-war Guatemala. Special attention is given to the gaps between, national and international, institutional responses for addressing violence against women, and women's everyday experiences and agency in carving out spaces to resist distinct forms of violence in their lives, whether within their families and/or on the streets. I argue that there is need to construct more comprehensive analytical frameworks for better understanding the interconnections and intersections of different forms of violence in the lives of women. Moreover, by more readily looking to women's experiences we can reformulate violence as a social process and see its more insidious effects, too often lost in conceptualizations that treat violence as simply an individual "act" or "event" apart from apart from everyday life. Gender-based violence in Guatemala is embedded in enduring legacies of State violence and military power, vast socio-economic inequalities, and political and cultural ideologies that work to justify violence towards certain segments of the population including women.
