Abstract:

This book is a unique image-based bilingual (English and Spanish) book
of textual and visual narratives of gender-based violence (GBV) in the
UK and Mexico, framed with a critical commentary that sets these
stories in the context of GBV in both countries.
Visual and textual stories convey the 'felt' experience of GBV,
engaging readers and audiences in the apparently mundane as well as
the shocking. Such stories help contest the prominence of crime
statistics in evidencing GBV, statistics which often distort
experience and reflect and maintain exclusionary policies and
practices, particularly for minoritised communities.
The transnational project on which this book is based invited artists
and creative writers from diverse backgrounds in the UK and Mexico to
respond to lived accounts of GBV in comic stories, short stories,
poems, 3D installations, fine art photography, painting and film. This
book brings together these visual and textual stories and sets out a
series of readings and analyses that seek to further knowledge on GBV
in different cultural contexts.
