Abstract

The instrumentalist approach refuses to illustrate or analyze in detail the complex relationship between aggression and language in subordinating abuse. Collective Aggression Politics, which makes collective violence a form of "controversial politics." Violence as "a kind of dialogue" containing systems where different groups make claims against each other and where the targets of those claims are likely to give rise to violent reactions. Debate centers on a shift from a peaceful to a violent discourse in which they live, throughout, under the heading of divisive politics.

Summary

Introduction

This paper notes immigrant women's language barrier to accessing services for domestic violence. The paper provides guidance to police, prosecutors, courts, corrections centers, and shelter programs for determining their obligations toward immigrant women who experience domestic violence. This theme deals with questions surrounding the (in)ability of language to express events of violence, both in the positive sense that language refuses to emanate from violence (the role of silence), and in the negative sense that language does not dare venture into the sphere of world-annihilating violence. Research indicates that Deaf women in the U.S experience domestic and/or sexual violence at rates twice those of hearing women, yet they routinely encounter barriers when seeking help—from a phone-based 9/11 systems to having their credibility as witnesses in court questioned (Gurr, 2000)
