Hidden victims: men and their experience of domestic violence
Get PDFCurrent research and statistics support that there are significant number of men who experience domestic violence from a female partner (e.g. Bates, Graham-Kevan & Archer, 2014; Bates & Graham-Kevan, 2016). Critics of this literature often suggest that men’s victimisation is less impactful but there have been few studies that have explored men’s victimisation experiences of both physical aggression and control. The aim of the current study was to qualitatively explore men’s experience of aggression and control from a female partner using an online, open-ended questionnaire. Results revealed that men experienced significant verbal and physical aggression from a partner as well as control, manipulation and psychological abuse. They further reported facing significant barriers in help-seeking and often reported having told no one about their abuse. Findings are discussed with reference to the literature on men’s help-seeking, and also to current policy and practice around service provision

No full textThe Ikhwān al-Ṣafā’ on Angels and Spiritual Beings
No full textIn several places of the Rasā’il Ikhwān al-Ṣafā’ is found the mention of angels in combination with the physical description of the cosmos. Each of the seven planets, but also the starry sphere and the all-encompassing sphere – which the Brethren of Purity identify with the Qur’ānic Footstool and the Throne respectively – are there associated with specific angels from the Islamic tradition. These passages are a good example of how the authors of this encyclopaedic corpus made use of Neoplatonism to read the Qur’ān and to interpret it symbolically. My paper will focus on the salient features of these descriptions and, by comparing the Brethren’s angelology with other systems in Arabic literature, seek to trace the possible influence of the Ikhwān al-Ṣafā’ on later representatives of Islamic philosophy and mysticism
