Summary/Abstract: In the last few decades, awareness has been raised about the persistence and increase of domestic violence and intimate partner violence. The initial hypothesis developed here is that toward those forms of violence linked to the most intimate sphere – home – we, as a society, practice spatiotemporal “distancing,” thus allowing for this structural and cultural violence to continue. This paper aims to take up this contemporary theoretical premise in order to analyze historical accounts of cultural practices related to DV and IPV.
