| Summary: | This paper is a survey of a number of women scholars who, during the last 20 years, have made extremely valuable contributions to the meanings and interpretations of the terms ‘violence,’ ‘vulnerability,’ and ‘precariousness.’ Each scholar (Sally Engle Merry, Grace Marion Jantzen, Ann V. Murphy, and Pamela Sue Anderson) has proposed in-depth insights that demonstrate that the terms they have examined can be reconfigured in more constructive and less definitive ways. In their respective pertinent observations, they have challenged the existing negative theories that associate violence with weakness and vulnerability with anger. Even though there are critics who have found fault with these authors’ proposals, the impact of their studies has had revolutionary repercussions. |
