Resumen
La presente investigación tiene como propósito explorar las representaciones sociales de la
violencia del compañero íntimo (VCI) en hombres homosexuales de Lima Metropolitana y
Callao. Para este fin, se realizó un estudio cualitativo con ocho entrevistas semi-estructuradas
a hombres gays. Se exploraron tres temáticas: las dinámicas de las relaciones homosexuales,
las nociones de la violencia de pareja (coerción, humillación y abuso sexual), y el proceso de
búsqueda de ayuda. Los hallazgos de la investigación evidencian que existe una vulnerabilidad
a la violencia que se gesta en esta población desde la vivencia individual de ser un hombre gay
en una sociedad heteronormativa y patriarcal. Asimismo, se encontró que la violencia no se
representaba de manera concreta en el imaginario de los entrevistados sino hasta ser víctimas
de la misma. Esta manifestación que despierta el reconocimiento de los hombres homosexuales
suele ser de carácter explícito, ya que, desde sus representaciones sociales, la violencia de tipo
sutil, como la coerción y la humillación, no era identificada como VCI en su totalidad. Por otra
parte, resalta que, frente a la necesidad de pedir ayuda, las vías de auxilio son limitadas e
incluso revictimizantes con esta población, promoviendo el ocultamiento de lo vivido y, en
ocasiones, regresar con su agresor. En conclusión, la VCI en hombres homosexuales es una
problemática real pero invisibilizada e incluso legitimada en el país, que encuentra múltiples
barreras sociales e institucionales que necesitan ser abordadas con urgencia.
The present study aims to explore the social representations of intimate partner violence (IPV) among homosexual men in Metropolitan Lima and Callao. To achieve this goal, a qualitative study was conducted involving eight semi-structured interviews with gay men. Three key themes were examined: the dynamics of same-sex relationships, notions of intimate partner violence (coercion, humiliation, and sexual abuse), and the help-seeking process. The findings reveal a vulnerability to violence within this population that stems from the individual experience of being a gay man in a heteronormative and patriarchal society. It was also found that violence was not concretely represented in the participants' perceptions until they became victims of it. This manifestation that awakens the recognition of homosexual men is usually explicit in nature, as subtle forms of violence such as coercion and humiliation were not totally recognized as IPV. Furthermore, the research highlights that available help-seeking avenues are limited and can even be re-victimizing for this population, leading to the concealment of their experiences and, in some cases, returning to their aggressor. In conclusion, IPV among homosexual men is a real but under-recognized and even legitimized issue in the country, facing multiple social and institutional barriers that urgently need to be addressed.
