Summary: | Women in situations of violence develop forms of resistance to preserve physical and mental integrity. The aim was to capture forms of passive resistance used by women in situations of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). A qualitative and descriptive research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with women who experienced IPV. The results were systematized using the Collective Subject Discourse method and interpreted based on Comprehensive Sociology and Everyday Sociology through the sociological perspective of Michel Maffesoli. The collective subject, characterized by 12 women, expressed its subterranean centrality through three discourses constructed from individual narratives with the same core of meaning. The discourses reveal the resistance and overcoming of the collective subject, which used passive opposition and socio-affective support. The resistance strategies consisted of silencing, escape, avoidance, cynicism, and theatricality. It is concluded that the care provided to these women should be sensitive and coordinated with various knowledge and practices. |
