| Abstract | "This volume responds to the #MeToo movement, whose worldwide resonance has illustrated not only the ubiquity of sexual abuse and sexual violence but also the failure to hold perpetrators accountable. Representing a range of disciplines, the collected essays engage current cultural and political discourses about systemic sexism, feminist theory and practice, and gender-based discrimination from an academic and activist perspective. The focus on national cultures of German-speaking Europe from the mid-eighteenth century to the present captures the persistence of normalized and institutionalized sexism, reframed through the lens of a contemporary political and social movement. With 16 essays from established and emerging scholars, German #MeToo argues that sexual violence is not a universal human constant. Rather, it is enabled and sustained by the social, political, cultural, legal and economic fabric of specific societies. The contributors sustain and vary their exploration of #MeToo-related issues through considerations of rape, prostitution, sexual murder, the politics of consent, and victim-blaming as enacted in canonical and marginalized authors, the visual arts, the graphic novel, film, television, and theater"-- Provided by publisher. |
