Abstract
Con el propósito de integrar los aspectos culturales, socio-históricos y relacionales en la comprensión de la violencia contra las mujeres, se propone estudiar este fenómeno desde la teoría de las representaciones sociales (RS) en un distrito rural costero. De este modo, se podría complementar la definición de la violencia contra las mujeres como una serie de diferentes actos concretos. Para ello, se hizo uso de líneas de tiempo, observación participante, bitácora de campo, las Redes Semánticas Naturales (RSN) y de una entrevista semi-estructurada con un grupo de pobladores hombres residentes del distrito, los cuales no pertenecían a ningún cargo de liderazgo comunitario. Se encontró que los participantes definen la violencia principalmente en base a sus actos concretos físicos, los cuales tienen un marcado elemento sensorial. Sin embargo, en un nivel más profundo, se integran aspectos relacionales y afectivos que acompañan a este fenómeno. Por otro lado, las explicaciones de la violencia remiten a las relaciones de poder asimétricas basadas en la construcción de género, la explosión sintomática de los conflictos de pareja, y la ruptura del tejido comunitario. Finalmente, se propone que el abordaje frente a esta problemática requiere actuar en los distintos niveles considerados por los participantes.

Thereby, it could complement the definition of violence against women as a number of different concrete acts. To do this, timelines, participant observation, field logbook, the Natural Semantic Networks (NSN), and a semi-structured interview were used with a group of male residents of this district, who did not belong to any community leadership position. It was found that participants define violence mainly throughout their physical concrete actions, which had a strong sensorial element. However, on a deeper level, relational and emotional aspects that accompany this phenomenon were integrated. On the other hand, explanations of violence refer to the asymmetrical power relations based on gender construction, the symptomatic explosion of marital conflicts, and the breaking of community ties. Finally, it is proposed that the addressing of this problem requires actions at the different levels considered by the participants.
