Literature has always been a history of patriarchy, sexual violence, and resistance. Academics have been using literature to expose and critique this violence and domination for half a century. But the continued potency of #MeToo after its 2017 explosion adds new urgency and wider awareness of these issues, while revealing new ways in which rape culture shapes our everyday lives. This intersectional guide helps readers, students, teachers, and scholars face and challenge our culture of sexual violence by confronting it through the study of literature.
#MeToo and Literary Studies gathers essays on literature from Ovid to Carmen Maria Machado, by academics working across the United States and around the world, that offer clear ways of using our reading, teaching, and critical practices to address rape culture and sexual violence, including rereading and revaluing the work of male writers. It also examines the promise and limitations of the #MeToo movement itself, speaking to the productive use of social media as well as to the voices that the movement has so far muted. In uniting diverse voices to enable the #MeToo movement to reshape literary studies, this book is also a commitment to the idea that the way we read and write about literature can make real change in the world.
Описание: Challenging the Norms: A Guide to Counteract Rape Culture and Sexual Assault in America provides readers with a greater understanding of rape culture, the prevalence of sexual assault in America, and interventions that can create a safer world in which sexual relationships are healthy and consensual.
Opening chapters define rape culture and demonstrate how it manifests in the United States, debunk rape myths, and explore the connection between entitlement and rape. Additional chapters examine the process of reporting rape, issues related to consent, and the pervasiveness of date rape and acquaintance rape. Students read about the relationship between rape, alcohol, and drugs; the differences between casual sex and relationship sex; and relationships between rape and Greek life, and rape and athletics. Closing chapters explain why mediation should never be used in sexual assault cases, why survivors don't report, the experience of survivors, and strategies for education and prevention.
Designed to break the silence about rape and sexual assault on college campuses, Challenging the Norms is an exemplary text for courses in criminal justice, sexual assault, sexual assault investigation, and contemporary social issues. It is also an excellent resource for programs focused on sexual assault education and prevention.

Описание: Drawing on more than a thousand cases from a diverse set of courts, Thornberry provides a ground breaking social and political history of rape in colonial South Africa, as well as an important case study for comparative legal history, histories of sexuality, and public policy on sexual violence.
Описание: In 2017, TIME announced The Silence Breakers, individuals who set off this international movement against sexual harassment, as its Person of the Year, amplifying the #Metoo movement. The intersection of issues of gender violence and activism receives inconsistent focus from the media, policymakers and the citizens. Some rapes and sexual harassments become the focus of mainstream and social media focus, while the others are relegated to the background. To avert this inconsistency, in this book I emphasize on the interdependent association between social media networks and mainstream mass media which can strengthen anti-rape and sexual harassment activism in digitally emerging countries such as India. Across cultures and countries incidents of rape and sexual assault are similarly framed by the media, who neglect the marginalized and often partake in victim blaming. This book will help in establishing the interdependent agenda-building framework to examine media coverage of issues in the digitally emerging countries of the Global South. It will give a contextual framework to the relationship between rural subaltern anti-rape feminist activists in India and the transnational anti-rape cyberfeminism and investigate why hashtags may or may not be successful in the digitally emerging countries and identify how rape and sexual harassment incidents slip through the existing media, activism, and policy gap.

Описание: Science plays a substantial, though under-acknowledged, role in shaping popular understandings of rape. Statistical figures like "1 in 4 women have experienced completed or attempted rape" are central for raising awareness. Yet such scientific facts often become points of controversy, particularly as conservative scholars and public figures attempt to discredit feminist activists. Rape by the Numbers explores scientists' approaches to studying rape over more than forty years in the United States and Canada. In addition to investigating how scientists come to know the scope, causes, and consequences of rape, this book delves into the politics of rape research. Scholars who study rape often face a range of social pressures and resource constraints, including some that are unique to feminized and politicized fields of inquiry. Collectively, these matters have far-reaching consequences. Scientific projects may determine who counts as a potential victim/survivor or aggressor in a range of contexts, shaping research agendas as well as state policy, anti-violence programming and services, and public perceptions. Social processes within the study of rape determine which knowledges count as credible science, and thus who may count as an expert in academic and public contexts.

Описание: This is the first critical study of feminist practices of ‘speaking out’ in response to rape. This book argues that feminist anti-rape politics are characterised by a belief in the transformative potential of women’s personal narratives of sexual violence. The political mobilisation of these narratives has been an incredibly successful strategy, but one with unresolved ethical questions and political limitations. The book explores both the successes and the unresolved questions through feminist archival materials, published narratives of sexual violence, and mass media and internet sources. It argues that that a rethinking of the role and place of women’s stories and the politics of speaking out is vital for a rethinking of feminist politics around sexual violence and key to fresh approaches to combating this violence.
