Responsibility for Sexual Injustices
Public discussion of sexual victimization has intensified within the US context and globally. One noteworthy feature of recent public discourse in the US is that it calls for a broadening of responsibility with respect to both the parties involved and the forms of sexual victimization for which people are held to account. Yet often the narratives about responsibility and practices of responsibility-taking that dominate in this discussion remain i…
Beyond Bounded Selves and Places
This essay elaborates how an imbalanced reciprocity between inhabitants of places of relative safety and places of greater precarity results from pursuing security on the basis of a reactive fear of vulnerability. It analyzes a range of features that shape the complex forms that vulnerability takes with a particular focus on how the constitution of places as rhetorically and corporeally secure or not renders different groups of people secure and/…
Vulnerability and Victimization
Vulnerability is both a vexing and vital concept for feminist theorizing about sexual violence and victimization. The concept is widely perceived as problematic because of the way it is associated both with femininity and femaleness and with dependency, weakness, susceptibility to harm, and violability. That is, vulnerability is thought to connote an inherent weakness and unavoidable openness to sexual victimization for women. Yet feminist thinke…
Intersubjective vulnerability, ignorance, and sexual violence
This chapter explains the kind of ignorance, that of a particular pattern of susceptibility, in terms of a deeper ignorance, that which concerns the phenomenon of vulnerability in general. To facilitate an inquiry into the relationship between ignorance and intersubjective vulnerability, the chapter briefly outlines a few different types of ignorance, and sketches a picture of some ways in which ignorance is produced and maintained. Since forms o…
Ethics and the ontology of freedom
Both Foucault and Deleuze define ethics as a form of creative activity. Yet, given certain ontological features indicated by both thinkers, ethics must be more than just creative and critical activity. Forgoing a transcendent ground for ethics, the ontological condition of ethics – what Foucault calls liberté and Deleuze calls the plane of immanence – is an opening for change that makes possible normalizing modes of existence as well transformati…
Responsive Becoming
This chapter explores the possibility of an alliance between Deleuze’s philosophy and feminist philosophy with respect to ethics. I begin by specifying some of the general points of convergence between Deleuzian ethics and feminist ethics. In the second section, I turn away from feminist ethics in particular to consider feminist engagement with Deleuze’s (and Deleuze and Guattari’s) work; in this section of the paper, I describe the central criti…
