Framing the Rape Victim: Gender and Agency Reconsidered
ISBN: 9780813566023 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2016 Nonfiction Category from The Authors' Zone
In recent years, members of legal, law enforcement, media and academic circles have portrayed rape as a special kind of crime distinct from other forms of violence. In Framing the Rape Victim, Carine M. Mardorossian argues that this differential treatment of rape has exacerbated the ghettoizing of sexual violence along gendered lines and has repeatedly led to women's being accused of triggering, if not causing, rape through immodest behavior, comportment, passivity, or weakness. Contesting the... Winner of the 2016 Nonfiction Category from The Authors' Zone
