Masculine and Violent Temporalities: Examining the Legacies of Men’s Unwanted Sexual Experiences
本文基于对英格兰40名遭遇性暴力男性的研究,提出性暴力打破了男性化的时间性,揭示了性别化的时间建构如何维持暴力与不平等,并影响幸存者的日常生活。
This article argues that sexual violence ruptures masculine temporalities, revealing the limits of gendered constructions of time and the ways they sustain violence and inequality. We draw upon research that explored the lives of 40 men living in England after incidents of sexual violence. Exploring the relationship between masculinized temporalities and the rupture created by sexual violence, we argue that gendered temporalities enable violence to be maintained and continued, rupturing the everyday life of survivors as they negotiate contradicting temporalities. We highlight three temporal conditions—past/present, waiting, and future imaginations—to demonstrate the ways masculinized temporalities contradict and clash with the ruptured temporalities following incidents of sexual violence.
