A Philosophical Investigation of Rape The Making and Unmaking of the Feminine Self By: Louise du Toit Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9780415536561, 0415536561 eText ISBN: 9781135854997, 1135854998 Edition: 1st Pages: 256 Copyright year: 2009 Format: EPUB Available from $ 19.18 USD SKU 9781135854997R90 This book offers a critical feminist perspective on the widely debated topic of transitional justice and forgiveness. Louise Du Toit examines the phenomenon of rape with a feminist philosophical discourse concerning women’s or ‘feminine’ subjectivity and selfhood. She demonstrates how the hierarchical dichotomy of male active versus female passive sexuality – which obscures the true nature of rape – is embedded in the dominant western symbolic frame. Through a Hegelian and phenomenological reading of first-person accounts by rape victims, she excavates an understanding of rape that also starts to open up a way out of the denial and destruction of female sexual subjectivity.
