An inquiry into the phenomenology of "woman" based in the
relationship between lived time and sexual violence Feminist
phenomenologists have long understood a woman's life as inhibited,
confined, and constrained by sexual violence. In this important
inquiry, author Megan Burke both builds and expands on this legacy
by examining the production of normative womanhood through racist
tropes and colonial domination. Ultimately, Burke charts a new
feminist phenomenology based in the relationship between lived time
and sexual violence. By focusing on time instead of space, When
Time Warps places sexualized racism at the center of the way
"woman" is lived. Burke transports questions of time and gender
outside the realm of the historical, making provocative new
insights into how gendered individuals live time, and how their
temporal existence is changed through particular experiences.
Providing a potent reexamination of the theory of Simone de
Beauvoir-while also bringing to the fore important women of color
theorists and engaging in the temporal aspects of #MeToo-When Time
Warps makes a necessary, lasting contribution to our understanding
of gender, race, and sexual violence.
