The book provides a critique of the dominant understanding of rape and its associated damage, and suggests alternatives. This book offers a critical feminist perspective on the widely debated topic of transitional justice and forgiveness. Louise du Toit 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 develops an understanding that opens up a way out of the denial and destruction of female sexual subjectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46738701353122,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/51QxWQpKklL._SY522.jpg?v=1775651403","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/a-philosophical-investigation-of-rape-the-making-and-unmaking-of-the-feminine-self","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
