This book examines the potential impact of rape survivors'
traumatic experiences in post-conflict zones. With specific
attention given to the experiences of women who were sexually
abused during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, it addresses
the sexuality of survivors, which has so far been inadequately
researched, and challenges the stereotypical and victimized images
and narrations that have so far prevailed in academic and public
discourse about women survivors while exploring the effects of
those narratives on the political, social and economic status of
the survivors themselves. Methodologically innovative, the book
questions the processes of re-victimization that can follow
fieldwork with survivors and introduces the theoretical and
practical foundations of applied drama and community theater as a
research approach in this field, revealing its potential as a means
of expressing a range of ethnographic, anthropological and
case-study research findings. Based on the narratives of advocates,
scholars and different social stakeholders, together with new
drama-based methodologies employed directly with survivors,
Sexuality after War Rape: From Narrative to Embodied Research
offers a sensitive and ethically-responsible research approach to
contesting assumptions about the sexualities of survivors of sexual
violence and revealing the emancipatory potential of testifying.
This book will appeal to scholars of sociology and gender studies,
victimology and sexuality.
