Beskrivelse
This book engages legal and literary texts in order to examine acquaintance crimes, such as rape, sexual harassment, stalking, and domestic abuse, and to challenge how the victim’s physical or psychological ‘freeze response’ is commonly and inaccurately mistaken for her consent.Following increased interest in the #MeToo movement, and the discoveries of sexual abuse by numerous public figures, this book analyzes themes in law and literature that discredit victims and protect wrongdoers. Interpreting a present-day novel alongside legislation and written court cases, each chapter pairs a fictional text with a non-fictional counterpart. In these pairings, the themes, events, and arguments of each are carefully unpacked and compared against one another. As the cross-readings unfold, we learn that a victim does not ‘ask for it’, and she should not arise suspicions just because she does not fight, run away, or report the crime. Instead, and as this book demonstrates, the more common and most practical response shows that she becomes physically and mentally paralyzed by fear: she dissociates, shuts down, and remains stuck in the fright and captivity of abuse.This book will interest scholars and students working in, and especially at the intersection of, law, literature, gender studies and criminology.

Produktinformasjon

Oppdag "Law, Literature, and Violence Against Women" – Et viktig verk

Er du på jakt etter en dyptgående analyse av temaer som vold mot kvinner og hvordan loven interagerer med litteratur? "Law, Literature, and Violence Against Women: Ending the Victim Blame Game" tar deg med på en reise gjennom noen av samfunnets mest presserende problemer. Dette gjennomtenkte verket undersøker ikke bare lover, men også litterære tekster, for å belyse hvordan ofrenes opplevelser ofte misforstås og bagatelliseres.

Hva kan du forvente fra denne boken?

  • Rikelig med eksempler: Boken diskuterer hendelser som voldtekt, seksuell trakassering, stalking og hjemmevold, og bruker både fiksjon og fakta for å illustrere de tragiske konsekvensene av disse handlingene.
  • Kritisk analyse: Boken stiller spørsmål ved hvordan samfunnets oppfatninger av offerets reaksjoner, som "freeze response", ofte feiltolkes som samtykke.
  • Faglig perspektiv: Den retter seg mot akademikere og studenter innenfor rettsvitenskap, litteratur, kjønnsstudier og kriminologi, og gir et tverrfaglig perspektiv.

En nødvendig lesning for dagens samfunn

Med økt fokus på #MeToo-bevegelsen og avdekkingen av seksuelle overgrep fra offentlige personer, er "Law, Literature, and Violence Against Women" et uunngåelig verktøy for enhver som ønsker å forstå dynamikken mellom lov og litteratur. Gjennom hvert kapittel oppdager vi at et offer ikke "ber om det", og at frykt kan føre til at man fryser i stedet for å kjempe imot.

Er du klar til å utfordre de tradisjonelle oppfatningene av vold mot kvinner? La denne boken være veiviseren din!
