A new feminist framework designed to move the conversation around sex, consent, and justice forward Increasingly fraught debates about sex, consent, feminism, justice, law, and gender relations have taken centre stage in academic, journalistic and social media circles in recent years.

Produktbeschreibung
A new feminist framework designed to move the conversation around sex, consent, and justice forward Increasingly fraught debates about sex, consent, feminism, justice, law, and gender relations have taken centre stage in academic, journalistic and social media circles in recent years. This has resulted in a myriad of new theories, debates and mediated movements including #MeToo and #TimesUp. In this book, Tina Sikka explores many of the contradictions and tensions that make up these debates and movements - particularly those that draw together contemporary understandings of justice, violence, consent, pleasure and desire. Drawing on the cases of Avital Ronell, Aziz Ansari, Jian Ghomeshi, Harvey Weinstein and Louis CK, she applies historical, explanatory, diagnostic and solutions-based tools to unpack two debates in particular - namely, contemporary sexual norms vis-à-vis what is permissible and desirable sexual behaviour and what constitutes justice in relation to gender based sexual violence. This book proposes concrete legislative and policy recommendations and examines the necessary cultural changes needed in order to retain a progressive conception of sexual relations and consent. Tina Sikka is a lecturer in Media and Culture at Newcastle University. Tina works in the areas of feminist science studies, critical race theory, health and the environment.
