A Philosophical Investigation of Rape : The Making and Unmaking of the Feminine Self Paperback / softback
by Louise du Toit
Part of the Routledge Research in Gender and Society series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book offers a critical feminist perspective on the widely debated topic of transitional justice and forgiveness.
Louise Du Toit examines the phenomenon of rape with a feminist philosophical discourse concerning women’s or ‘feminine’ subjectivity and selfhood.
She demonstrates how the hierarchical dichotomy of male active versus female passive sexuality – which obscures the true nature of rape – is embedded in the dominant western symbolic frame.
Through a Hegelian and phenomenological reading of first-person accounts by rape victims, she excavates an understanding of rape that also starts to open up a way out of the denial and destruction of female sexual subjectivity.
