What Is Rape?: Social Theory and Conceptual Analysis

By Hilkje Charlotte Hänel

What exactly is rape? And how is it embedded in society? Hilkje Charlotte H nel offers a philosophical exploration of the often misrepresented concept of rape in everyday life, systematically mapping out and elucidating this atrocious phenomenon. Haenel proposes a theory of rape as a social practice facilitated by ubiquitous sexist ideologies. Arguing for a normative cluster model for the concept of rape, this timely intervention improves our understanding of lived experiences of sexual violence and social relations within sexist ideologies.
