Zusammenfassung:
In 'Rape Fantasies', Alisa Kessel makes the case that to prevent sexual violence in the US and elsewhere, we must confront rape as a crime that is not born of natural sexual appetites, simple miscommunication, or ethical breach. In a rape culture, sexual violence is an essential political tactic to preserve - and, oftentimes, to embolden - hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and class. Moving beyond a gender-centred account of rape culture, Kessel provides an intersectional reconceptualization that reveals how rape culture evolves and expands to discipline any group that threatens the sociopolitical order.
