Uma década. Muito tempo. De vida. De história. Para o Universo, claro, é muito pouco. É um sopro. Guardadas as proporções, para o projeto Criança e Consumo não foi muito nem pouco. Foi tempo suficiente para termos feito o que fizemos e para ter acontecido o que aconteceu. Mas, sem dúvida, é um marco. Um aniversário a ser comemorado e celebrado, com conquistas e vitórias. Um momento para renovar a visão do que virá, do que pode acontecer, do que se quer como presente no futuro. Hora de olhar atentamente para o que passou, inclusive em relação ao que saiu diferente do que se imaginou. Feliz aniversário, projeto Criança e Consumo do Instituto Alana! Nesses últimos 10 anos, tive o prazer e a honra de estar à frente da coordenação desse incrível trabalho desenvolvido por uma equipe que sempre foi e continua sendo extremamente comprometida, dedicada e movida por um ideal de vida maior, que é o resgate do humanismo na sua mais completa profundidade.

  • The Role of Misogyny in Patterns of Homicide
    Abstract The Role of Misogyny in Patterns of Homicide: A Historical Survey Examining the Killing of Women by Men in a Midwestern City (Approximate Population of 200,000), 1975-1979 Analysis of all cases of homicide involving women as victim and/or perpetrator in Dayton, Ohio between 1975 and 1979 showed that 71.9% of the intrasex killings between husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends and estranged same, involved a prior history of wife abuse. Critical analysis of literature on violence from all perspectives, biological, psychological, sociological, anthropological and feminist, revealed the linkages of the concepts of machismo and misogyny to both forms of violence against women, homicide and wife abuse, as well as other gynocidal practices. Women were shown to be generally non-violent both in national and cross cultural epidemiological studies on violence and homicide and in the Dayton homicide cases. When they did kill, a significant proportion (49.1%) of the Dayton female killers were motivated by self- defense, as compared to the 8.2% rate of victim precipitation when men killed women. Newspaper accounts of these cases were also analyzed showing some indication of the perpetuation of myths, subtle blaming of the victim, obsession with purity and sexism which is found in the literature on other gynocidal practices. It is suggested that misogyny and machismo grow out of the patriarchal societal structure and that homicide of women along with wife abuse and other practices of violence toward females maintain the patriarchy by keeping women subservient. Abused women were identified as a population highly at risk to kill or be killed and nursing intervention with these women suggested in terms of prevention.
