Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis:
Seduced and enslaved: sexual violence in antebellum American literature and contemporary feminist discourse. "Rape crisis" or "Crisis in sexual identity"? The feminist rhetoric of rape -- "Guilty passions" and "Foul words": the powers of seduction and the racialization of sexual violence -- The deployment of sexual violence and the "cult of secrecy": historicizing the feminist rhetoric of rape. The rise of the (Black) rapist and the reconstruction of difference; or, "realist" rape. "Black claws into soft white throat" and other bestialities: rapist rhetoric, rivalry, and homosocial desire in Thomas Nelson Page's Red rock, Thomas Dixon's The clansman, and Frank Norris's McTeague -- "A tender lamb snatched from the jaws of a hungry wolf": inversions of rapist rhetoric in Frances E.W. Harper's Iola Leroy -- "The one crime" and "the real 'one crime'": rape, lynching, and mimicry in Sutton E. Griggs's The Hindered hand -- "A thing not to be faced": rape as robbery in Upton Sinclair's The jungle -- "Unconscious penetration": manners, money, and the primitive man in Edith Wharton's The house of mirth -- "The kind we can't resist": the lesson of William Vaughn Moody's A Sabine woman. Rape and the artifice of representation: four modernist modes. "Soiled! Despoiled! Handled! Mauled! Rumpled! Rummaged! Ransacked!": styles and hyperboles of seduction, rape, and incest in Djuna Barnes's Ryder -- "That little hot ball inside you that screams": rape's resistance to representation, the resistance to rape, and the transgression of boundaries in William Faulkner's Sanctuary -- "Not what one did to women": enacting projections and constructing the racial border in Richard Wright's Native Son -- Fighting "forced relationship": rape and manslaughter in Ann Petry's The Street -- Voicing sexual violence, repoliticizing rape: post modernist narratives of sexuality and power. "Mankind's greatest crime, man's inhumanity to man": Chester Himes's A case study of rape -- "Plain black (gender) trouble": intraracial rape, incest, and other family feuds -- "Phantom men" and "zipless fucks": rape fantasies and the fictions of female desire -- "An obscene posture that no one could help": sodomy, male anxiety, and the "crisis of homo/heterosexual definition" in James Dickey's Deliverance. Challenging readings of rape
