| Beschreibung: | Main description: Reading Rape examines how American culture talks about sexual violence and explains why, in the latter twentieth century, rape achieved such significance as a trope of power relations. Through attentive readings of a wide range of literary and cultural representations of sexual assault--from antebellum seduction narratives and "realist" representations of rape in nineteenth-century novels to Deliverance, American Psycho, and contemporary feminist accounts--Sabine Sielke traces the evolution of a specifically American rhetoric of rape. She considers the kinds of cultural work that this rhetoric has performed and finds that rape has been an insistent figure for a range of social, political, and economic issues. Sielke argues that the representation of rape has been a major force in the cultural construction of sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, class, and indeed national identity. At the same time, her acute analyses of both canonical and lesser-known texts explore the complex anxieties that motivate such constructions and their function within the wider cultural imagination. Provoked in part by contemporary feminist criticism, Reading Rape also challenges feminist positions on sexual violence by interrogating them as part of the history in which rape has been a convenient and conventional albeit troubling trope for other concerns and conflicts. This book teaches us what we talk about when we talk about rape. And what we're talking about is often something else entirely: power, money, social change, difference, and identity |

Princeton University Press 2002 1 Online-Ressource (256 S.) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Main description: Reading Rape examines how American culture talks about sexual violence and explains why, in the latter twentieth century, rape achieved such significance as a trope of power relations. Through attentive readings of a wide range of literary and cultural representations of sexual assault--from antebellum seduction narratives and "realist" representations of rape in nineteenth-century novels to Deliverance, American Psycho, and contemporary feminist accounts--Sabine Sielke traces the evolution of a specifically American rhetoric of rape. She considers the kinds of cultural work that this rhetoric has performed and finds that rape has been an insistent figure for a range of social, political, and economic issues. Sielke argues that the representation of rape has been a major force in the cultural construction of sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, class, and indeed national identity. At the same time, her acute analyses of both canonical and lesser-known texts explore the complex anxieties that motivate such constructions and their function within the wider cultural imagination. Provoked in part by contemporary feminist criticism, Reading Rape also challenges feminist positions on sexual violence by interrogating them as part of the history in which rape has been a convenient and conventional albeit troubling trope for other concerns and conflicts. This book teaches us what we talk about when we talk about rape. And what we're talking about is often something else entirely: power, money, social change, difference, and identity Geschichte 1790-1990 gnd rswk-swf Vergewaltigung Motiv (DE-588)4187708-1 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Vergewaltigung (DE-588)4042696-8 gnd rswk-swf Feminismus (DE-588)4222126-2 gnd rswk-swf Rhetorik (DE-588)4076704-8 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4113937-9 Hochschulschrift gnd-content USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Vergewaltigung Motiv (DE-588)4187708-1 s Geschichte 1790-1990 z 2\p DE-604 Feminismus (DE-588)4222126-2 s Rhetorik (DE-588)4076704-8 s Vergewaltigung (DE-588)4042696-8 s 3\p DE-604 Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s 4\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400824946 Verlag Volltext http://www.degruyter.com/search?f_0=isbnissn&q_0=9781400824946&searchTitles=true Verlag Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
