Abstract
Sociology has sometimes been accused of overlooking the sociological significance of domestic violence, and intimate partner abuse/violence (IPA&V). Phenomenological sociology provides a specific sociology of the everyday, offering powerful insights into the production of interactional routines, including abuse and violence. Drawing upon data from a qualitative study of IPA&V, this article focuses on an in-depth life-history of a British male victim/survivor, who endured unilateral violence from his wife for over 20 years. Data were gathered via six topical life-history interviews and a personal diary. Employing insights from the sociology of the everyday, the article analyses the domestic interactional domain of IPA&V, drawing upon a sociological-phenomenological framework to explore the lived, everyday experience of abuse and violence from the standpoint of a male survivor. This constitutes a relatively under-researched perspective in extant sociological literature.
