Rethinking the Victim: Gender and Violence in Contemporary Australian Women's Writing (Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures) - 9781138092594

Rethinking the Victim: Gendered Violence in Australian Literature is the first comprehensive investigation of the multiple and interrelated forms of violence which play out across intimate, familial, colonial and militarised zones in Australian women's literature. Arguing that gendered violence is inflected with sexuality, class, race, ethnicity and many other factors, the book rethinks victimhood and agency from a feminist perspective and resists the spectacularization of violence against women that is often graphically depicted in cinema, news media and pornography--
