Recenzii
Instructive and inspirational ... this book is a powerful call to action to scholars in other fields to weave discussions of sexual violence into their syllabuses as well as reckon with the culture of silence that promotes sexual harassment and violence within our own institutions.
"#MeToo is a powerful hashtag, rallying cry, and cudgel. But lasting change requires association, deep thinking, and nuance-and for that, we turn to literature. #MeToo and Literary Studies beautifully demonstrates how writers have been describing the realities of sexual violence for decades, and how literary analysis can help provoke meaningful transformation of rape culture.
This collection of timely, wide-ranging, and diverse essays demonstrates the power of #MeToo to reframe prior debates and silences in literary studies. The editors make a compelling case for #MeToo storytelling as part of a long history of representing sexual violence in literature. The essays interweave literary studies, social activism, and pedagogy in generative new readings. #MeToo and Literary Studies is essential reading and invaluable equipment for scholars, teachers, and students engaging with rape culture, misogyny, and literature.
Through #MeToo and Literary Studies: Reading, Writing, and Teaching About Sexual Violence and Rape Culture, editors Mary K. Holland and Heather Hewett have not just created a useful primer on the #MeToo movement's impact on the various domains of literary studies. They have also provided a timely and necessary toolkit for learning how to use literature to bravely confront, inside and outside of these classrooms, the steady if not unceasing proliferation of sexual violence in our world. [...] Most importantly, across twenty-eight chapters, #MeToo and Literary Studies demonstrates the possibilities for centralizing the texts, knowledge, and experiences of women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and otherwise marginalized persons and communities who most frequently experience sexual assault. [...] [W]hat is abundantly clear is the volume's compassionate and empathetic ethos. It is a reminder that we, fortunately, do not have to undertake this reflective and pedagogical labor alone. For these reasons, #MeToo and Literary Studies is an indispensable volume for both new and veteran instructors.
The essays in this exciting collection by a diverse group of feminist scholars make the case that the study of literature is also a performance of activism. #MeToo and Literary Studies maps representations of rape culture across geographies both local and global, and wide-ranging texts from communities subjected to sexual violence. The book persuasively demonstrates how literature freshly analyzed through critically engaged writing and innovative pedagogies can lead to radical social change. A crucial anthology for our dark times.
Fighting rape culture starts with making it visible. #MeToo and Literary Studies does that and so much more. It uses literature to expose the cultural normalization of sexual violence and finds in pedagogy the building blocks necessary to produce a viable alternative. It is scholarly activism at its best.
Mary K. Holland and Heather Hewett's #MeToo and Literary Studies is a tour de force, a groundbreaking gathering of feminist scholars who have committed themselves to exposing, contextualizing, and challenging the ongoing trauma of sexual violence in popular culture and literature. Spanning antiquity to our current age, this book maps how artists, activists, and academics have both grappled with the devastating reality of sexual assault, while also imagining beyond the trauma and giving us a collective way forward. #MeToo and Literary Studies is an urgent, transformative, and mandatory read.
#MeToo and Literary Studies provides a crucial, fascinating, and truly comprehensive deep dive into the vexed relationship between rape culture and literary texts spanning over two thousand years, from Ovid to Jaquira Díaz. The breadth of perspectives canvassed-and interrogated-makes it a breathtaking feat, and a highly necessary volume, for any feminist thinker.
#MeToo and Literary Studies seriously belongs in every English department in middle schools, high schools, and in higher education. But it should not just sit on a shelf. It should be read and discussed by English teachers in department meetings across the school year and every year. There are so many excellent entry points that the various authors in this collection offer from critical analyses of texts we actually teach in the classroom to suggestions of texts we should start including in our curricula; they offer pedagogical approaches for addressing content warnings to masculinities across cultures to restorative justice; they even offer ways we can prevent inflicting further harm in our reading and writing pedagogies. Wholly committed to intersectionality and dismantling systems of domination and power, each chapter offers starting points for addressing sexual violence, rape, and harassment in not only literature but also in our schools, universities, and communities. As a high school English teacher who has been in the classroom for nearly 25 years addressing sexual violence both pedagogically and institutionally, I wish I had had this book much sooner in my work as a feminist teacher-activist. I can keep fighting the good fight now that this book exists.
