A 
he 
area 
of 
violence 
against 
women 
has 
become 
increasingly 
narrow 
and 
self-referential. 
Since 
the 
initial 
phase 
of 
development, 
when 
new 
theoretical 
ideas 
and 
methodological 
approaches 
were 
introduced 
and 
expanded, 
the 
field 
of 
study 
has 
become 
more 
rigid 
in 
scope 
and 
orientation. 
In 
many 
of 
the 
subareas 
or 
subdisciplines 
involved, 
an 
unwarranted 
confidence 
in 
theoretical 
ideas, 
empirical 
findings, 
and/or 
established 
ideologies 
has 
resulted 
in 
a 
circumscrip-
tion 
of 
the 
field 
of 
study. 
Where 
this 
exists, 
it 
usually 
results 
in 
a 
reluctance 
to 
further 
develop 
new 
ideas 
or 
arenas 
of 
evidence 
within 
such 
subdisciplines 
or 
schools 
of 
thought. 
There 
is 
closure, 
often 
though 
not 
exclusively 
along 
disciplinary 
lines, 
against 
ideas 
and 
evidence 
from 
outside 
the 
circumscribed 
subdiscipline 
in 
a 
futile 
attempt 
to 
exclude 
"foreign" 
ideas 
and/or 
evidence 
from 
consider-
ation 
or 
debate. 
In 
such 
a 
context, 
new 
ideas 
and 
evidence 
inevitably 
struggle 
to 
emerge 
in 
an 
ever-narrowing 
and 
unchanging 
circle 
of 
self-referential 
ideas 
and 
evidence.
