Sexual abuse & harassment

'50 shades', pussy grabbing, topless protest, nasty women. Women, sexuality and politics are at the forefront of popular discussion today.

Despite the rise in research and public awareness about rape culture and gendered violence, women's bodies in public space continue to be treated violently.

Using case studies from the US and UK — focusing on the sexualised pregnancy, the BDSM player, the sexy protest — Fanghanel interrogates how the female body is challenged by and challenges gendered violence.

Rape culture continues to thrive in contemporary society: this book demonstrates how it happens, the politics that are mobilised to sustain it and how it can be contested.

'Fanghanel has produced an insightful, compelling and engaging book. The writing style is hugely enjoyable, allowing for comprehensive engagement with challenging and, potentially, distressing topics.' — Qualitative Research

Reviews for Disrupting Rape Culture: Public Space, Sexuality and Revolt

"""This is a compelling book, which casts a critical eye on rape culture from new and important perspectives. The politics of women's bodies in public spaces is such a vital part of the debate around rape culture, and Fanghanel addresses the topic with originality and insight."" Caroline Blyth, University of Auckland ""Timely and provocative, this book wades into debates in a way that others fear to tread, and highlights the continuing need to interrogate the sexualisation of bodies and spaces. Essential reading for all those interested in the oppressive ways that gendered performances are understood and policed in public space."" Phil Hubbard, King's College London"
