War trauma, gender based violence and conflicts as refugee women’s social identity key markers.
Summary:
The present qualitative research work is in contact with the epistemological
and methodological corpus of social identity processes, and in particular with the
processes of shaping, threatening and reconstructing refugee women’s social identity.
This work attempts to highlight the dynamic scope of social identity in the case of a
group, which is often being studied included in the wider group of refugees and rarely
examined independently. In particular, the social identity of the researched group is
approached, taking into account the factor of time and the social interaction between
individuals, groups and societies. In detail, we investigate the changes and
discontinuities in women's social identity during the biographical disruptions of war,
gender based violence and displacement. The level of depicting personal narratives
through the testimony in ingroup’s identity and collective memory are also
researched. The aforementioned issues were monitored by conducting biographical
narrative interviews (life stories) with fifteen refugee women (due to the conflicts in
the Middle East) living in Greece (12-18 months) with their dependent children,
without a spouse. The interviews were analyzed utilizing the biographical narrative
analysis of the thematic approach, which was based on the axes of biography, social
identity, biographical disruption and social interaction. The findings of this study may
disclose the particular social and psychological characteristics of refugee women’s
group in Greece, propel social protection concerns, excite social, labor and
educational policies, provoke inter/cross-cultural communication and psychosocial
interventions and trigger future research in the field.
