Abstract
This article takes up a distinction between two times commonly found in works on violence—the time in or during the violence and the time after the violence—and contrasts it with evidence gathered in field work conducted in Spain mainly with victims of gender violence. For these women, life after the violence is (or continues to be) a “living death.” With this characterization I seek to further the debate on the notion of life as perceived in sociology, bearing in mind that in that discipline life has been assumed as a given, and arguing instead that life should be understood as “making a life.”
