Summary of the thesis

The thesis deals with political responses to macho violence and their relationship with the reforms of the family law, including the family mediation. For more than ten years, thanks to the feminist movement, the 1/2004 and law 5/2008 consider the violence as a problem linked to discrimination that suffer from women. The thesis is interested in a specific way for the formal prohibition of family mediation in case of macho violence from a multi-method research that combines the analysis of literature and statistical sources, as well as the realization of a Field work composed of 18 semi-directed interviews with sociojurídics operators (lawyers / as, mediators / as family, psychologists, judges), 20 interviews with separate women or divorced with children who have suffered some kind of violence Sexist and who have experienced family mediation; and three mornings of direct observation of information sessions to family mediation intrajudicial. The first part of the thesis analyzes the interpretative frames (Frame) feminists on violence, and conceptualitza the limits of mediation from these theories. The second part of the thesis analyzes the legislative tour on violence in the Spanish State, stressing advances in this field, after almost forty years of Franco dictatorship, as well as the obstacles in the legal translation of the feminist frame (2005-2015 ). The third part examines the application of the law by operators operators on the ground and demonstrates how these last give a sense to that, as well as some recalifican macho violence as simple family conflicts. From the direct observation of the sessions of information to family mediation, the thesis shows as sometimes the mediators / as prevent women from talking about violence. Finally, focusing my focus on analysis in the experiences of women separated with children, my research shows the revictimització that some of them suffer during family mediation. This thesis puts in evidence the shift between a avant-garde laws of feminist inspiration, and an application marked by institutional violence, in an formally egalitarian society and crossed by austerity policies.

Key Words: feminist theories, macho violence / gender violence, family mediation, interpretative frames, operators operators, Spain / Catalonia.
