In 1987, statistics transformed rape from a rare and personal concern into an epidemic in popular consciousness. Mary Koss and colleagues conducted victimization surveys with thousands of college women, 1 in 4 of whom reported completed or attempted rape. This finding received tremendous attention in the 1980s, and continues to influence activists and state officials. Notwithstanding the importance of this and other scientific facts, scholars have rarely explored the role of scientists in shaping perceptions of and responses to sexual violence. This project addresses that gap in the literature, via the following questions: (1) how have scientists conceptualized sexual violence among adults; and (2) what social mechanisms enable, constrain, and otherwise influence scientific research on sexual violence? Drawing on insights from feminist science studies, I approach sexual violence as an intra-active phenomenon, and regard objects of study (sexual violence) as inseparable from agencies of observation (research instruments, researchers). Data came from three sources: content analysis of journal abstracts (N=1,313), in-depth assessment of texts in different subfields (N=84), and interviews with researchers (N=31). Ultimately, I argue that sexual violence research has been dominated by psychological inquiries, as well as gendered assumptions regarding who is most capable of perpetrating and experiencing rape. Scientists have produced a tremendous body of knowledge regarding the individual-level causes, individual-level outcomes, and prevalence of men’s sexual aggression toward women. Systemic forces and sexual violence that deviates from this particular gendered pattern remain underexamined. I further argue that scientific research on sexual violence is shaped by a range of social mechanisms that are particular to fields associated with questions of social morality and social movements including feminism(s).

Full textThis dissertation focuses on Latin American survivors of political violence and the staff members involved with one of the few torture treatment centers in the US. Relying primarily on life histories and semi-structured interviews, my research focuses on the social construction of suffering (Kleinman et al. 1997) created by the staff and participants over the course of three different eras of the center. While the clients of this center lead lives that are tremendously impacted by the violent histories of their home countries, they do so while living in a country where this history is almost completely invisible. As exiles, they are removed from the arena of collective memory reflected in debates in postwar transitional Latin American societies about the meaning of the past, the reasons for their suffering, and the need for historical truth. Consequently, I examine the torture treatment center as one arena where this history and the suffering of survivors is acknowledged. As such, I argue that the staff serves as a critical social network--indeed, perhaps the only one--that influences the individual interpretations, narratives, and actions of survivors about the meaning of trauma, the importance of the past, and how one best heals from violence. First, I illustrate how the biographies of staff shape their involvement with the center and the meaning the center has for them, which, in turn, leads to both the promise and predicaments of their work for social change. Second, this research illustrates the diverse forms that trauma can take and argues for a connection among structural, transitional, and political violence. Third, I explore how the meaning attributed to trauma and the past shapes notions held by the center's staff and participants regarding how one best heals from trauma. Throughout the exploration of these themes, my work identifies the presence of certain discourses and the absence of others--the frictions and fragments occurring in engagements between social service networks and those they serve (Tsing 2005)--that reflect the possibilities for and limitations of individual healing and collective change and that make this center a "fragile community."

Full textLa presente tesis explora una novela poco estudiada del corpus de ficción post-11-S, The Zero (2006), de Jess Walter, y propone algunas hipótesis que puedan explicar esta falta de atención. Se sugiere que los debates que se originaron en los Estados Unidos tras el 11-S—respecto al estatus de la ficción frente a la tragedia, la supuesta falta de adecuación del humor satírico e irónico para explicarla, las grandes expectativas depositadas en los autores canónicos para que dieran sentido al hecho, y las interpretaciones un tanto prescriptivas y normativas por parte del campo de los “post- 9/11 fiction studies”—contribuyeron a determinar ciertas lecturas de The Zero dentro de los parámetros establecidos por la primera ola de ficción post-11-S, pasando por alto el potencial subversivo de la novela de Walter. La recepción temprana de la novela ha tendido a desatender el análisis formal y conceptual de The Zero al favorecer una aproximación desde los estudios del trauma que resulta en un análisis insustancial de la exploración discursiva que la novela lleva a cabo. Por otra parte, se ha ignorado casi por completo su uso del humor satírico, y ello en parte se explica por ciertas concepciones teóricas un tanto parciales y anticuadas sobre qué es una novela satírica. Por lo tanto, la tesis lleva a cabo una revisión del corpus teórico sobre la sátira narrativa y propone su renovación a través de las teorías de carnivalización de Mikhail Bakhtin. La aproximación a la novela desde las nociones de carnaval satírico, dialogismo, e intertextualidad revela como la sátira es un modo muy efectivo de explorar y cuestionar el aparato discursivo que se movilizó en Estados Unidos tras los atentados. Tal es el objeto de la novela, la interacción con, representación y eventual subversión de un discurso nacionalista que se sostuvo por la apelación a mitos fundacionales y temas culturales de alta aceptación entre la población, lo cual permitió una respuesta militar y el abandono de ciertas libertades en el frente doméstico con el fin de garantizar la seguridad. La tesis busca demostrar como la sátira entendida de este modo es especialmente idónea para construir un relato dialógico, polifónico e inquisidor que no solo cuestione sino que dialogue con la nación estadounidense tras el 11-S.

The decriminalization of consensual sexual behavior between adolescents has been under discussion and debate for a long time, but the controversy still existed. Reviewing the literature on sexual behavior between adolescents ,we can find that researchers in specific fields are concerned about that topic with specialized aspects. For examples, legal researchers focus on the protective legal interest of Article 227 in the Criminal Code and its applications; Social workers and school teachers target on parent-child conflicts, sexual education and counseling for adolescents. However, few studies have been conducted to integrate research results from various fields or comparative analysis from the perspective of criminal policy. Reviewing the literature on law, sociology, psychology, and feminism to illustrate the image of children, adolescents, and young girls as the fundamental knowledge, this study introduced the protection network established by the existing legislation, and also showed the practical dilemmas faced by the education system, social administration, and juvenile justice. In order to find a sound solution, this study reflects Taiwan’s legal issues on adolescent sexual behavior from learning cases of the operational experience of statutory rape law in the United States.First of all, we must be alerted to the impact of chastity aspects on the law, avoiding the law becoming a tool of sexual ethics. Furthermore, we should recognize that criminal law has limitation and should not be over-reliant. Finally, taking the adolescents as the subjectivity and their benefits as major concerns are the core concepts of ideal criminal policy. This study suggests that Taiwan can refer to the age-gap provisions of the statutory rape law in the United States, decriminalizes the consensual sexual behavior between adolescents within a certain age gap. Besides, adolescent sexuality should not be labeled as a delinquent behavior. Adults need to hold positive attitudes towards the sexual development of adolescence, provide sound information and sex education for adolescents’ robust mental and physical development.

This thesis examines how the EU legal order has adapted to the presence of the World Trade Organization. More specifically, it asks how the European Court of Justice has adapted its case-law on the application of international law within the EU legal order to the particular nature of the WTO system at the intersection of international law and international trade policy. Central to this question is the extent to which the Court has granted direct or indirect effect to provisions of the WTO Agreements and to decisions of the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. Despite almost 40 years of case-law, the effect of WTO law within the EU legal order remains highly relevant. This thesis argues that the ECJ‟s stance vis-à-vis WTO law increasingly inspires the ECJ‟s standard approach to deal with international law, that WTO law provides for a laboratory of more implicit techniques of dialogue between courts and that the EU‟s central focus on respect for the rule of law and fundamental rights urgently calls for a viable solution so as to reconcile the political interests of the EU in the global trading arena with the fundamental rights of private market players. Therefore, the thesis proposes four pathways in order to overcome the identified shortcomings. Particular attention is thereby devoted to the potential of certain developments introduced by the Lisbon Treaty to shed new light on sometimes completely frozen chapters in this long-standing debate.

Full textIn North America, the fight against human trafficking is of the utmost complexity. In order to tackle the numerous aspects surrounding this phenomenon, States must develop strategies using a holistic, interdisciplinary and long term approach. North American trafficking prevention strategies comprise many deficiencies which cause certain groups of individuals to be more vulnerable. While the measures already in place fail to target the root causes of the phenomenon, many reforms essential to the diminution of those persons ' vulnerability, namely the alleviation of restrictive migration policies, have yet to take place. Similarly, deficiencies existing in protection strategies increase the risks of revictimisation of human trafficking victims. On the one hand, state authorities fail to adequately identify all the victims. On the other hand, some victims, although identified as such, remain without protection, either because it is granted on a conditional basis or because support mechanisms remain insufficient.
