Vulnerability, Agency and the Ambivalence of Place in Narratives of Rape in Three High-Profile Swedish Cases
For decades, the media have frequently been instrumental in framing rape cases by linking the deed with the place. This study demonstrates that law courts are not innocent of such social framing; on the contrary, they are significant agents. We argue that courts, by shaping the plot in rape cases, participate in an ongoing cultural production of meaning, although in a more subtle and ambivalent way than the media. In a narrative analysis of three…

This article deals with ontological and epistemological approaches regarding research on sexual violence. Focusing on a rape case from a Swedish court in 1821, the feminist departure is that language, law text and its practices structure the experience and resisting power of the victim as well as the availability of bodily violation. The interpellation of the victim in the law text in the binary concepts of force and consentwere embedded in the h…
