Abstract
Background. Currently, there are difficulties in developing a unified basis for categorizing phenomenology in studies that examine abuse. In particular, it refers to the ways of its implementation, strategies and relational options within which abuse is performed. On the one hand, classifications of instruments/forms of abuse can be identified, and on the other hand, classifications of types of situations, where each reveals both problem areas as well as areas of conceptual growth.
Aim. The paper aims to problematize the existing classifications of violence and develop on these grounds a special variant of the classification of violence – the classification of situations of violence.
Methodology. The basis of the classification was chosen by analyzing publications, the subject area of which was directly or indirectly related to the classification of abuse phenomena.
Results. These classifications can be presented as complementary axes, with one relating to specific forms of impact (the tactical side) and the other to their implementation in specific contexts (the strategic side). An additional basis for categorizing the implementation of abuse may be the pursued effect – desubjectivization of a victim, which to a certain extent sets the instrumental and organizational aspects. On these bases, a hypothetical coordinate grid is constructed that allows describing different situations of abuse within a limited number of clusters, grouping them according to the parameters of regularity (situational, periodic and regular) and impact intensity (weak, medium and high).
Conclusions. The constructed model, despite its conventionality, not only allows to compress the diversity of situations of abuse, but also to identify such situations, based on the selected grounds. In particular, it can present various uses of informational impact as well as some hybrid forms of abuse.
