Taking sexual violence in the form of rape and
hetero-psychological/physical abuse, trafficking, and harassment as
a point of departure, the authors of this volume explore questions
about the relationship between sex, sexuality and violence in order
to better understand the terms on which women's sexual suffering is
perpetuated, thereby undermining their capacity for personhood and
autonomy. This volume perceives that while sexual violence as a
phenomenon is heavily researched, it remains under-theorized. With
anti-essentialist views of gender identity, of subjectivity and
agency, and of rationality and consent, the essays study both the
dynamics and consequences of sexual violence. The contributing
authors blend the insights of postmodern critique with the common
goal of theorizing and acting effectively against the material and
psychic suffering perpetuated by the rigid rituals of gendered and
sexed life.
