| Summary: | "This volume responds to the #MeToo movement, whose worldwide resonance has illustrated not only the ubiquity of sexual abuse and sexual violence but also the failure to hold perpetrators accountable. Representing a range of disciplines, the collected essays engage current cultural and political discourses about systemic sexism, feminist theory and practice, and gender-based discrimination from an academic and activist perspective. The focus on national cultures of German-speaking Europe from the mid-eighteenth century to the present captures the persistence of normalized and institutionalized sexism, reframed through the lens of a contemporary political and social movement.

Rather, it is enabled and sustained by the social, political, cultural, legal and economic fabric of specific societies. The contributors sustain and vary their exploration of #MeToo-related issues through considerations of rape, prostitution, sexual murder, the politics of consent, and victim-blaming as enacted in canonical and marginalized authors, the visual arts, the graphic novel, film, television, and theater"-- |
