Sexual Harassment, Psychology and Feminism: #MeToo, Victim Politics and Predators in Neoliberal Times

Autor Lisa Lazard
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 oct 2020
This book provides a feminist psychological analysis of contemporary resistance to sexual harassment in and around #MeToo. It explores how women’s assumed empowerment in postfeminist and neoliberal feminist discourses has shaped understandings of sexual harassment and social responses to it. This exploration is grounded in the trajectories of feminist activism and psychological theory about sexual harassment. Lazard addresses the gendered binary of female victims and male perpetrators in contemporary victim politics and the treatment of perpetrators within postfeminist and neoliberal frames. In doing so, the author unpacks the cultural conditions which support or deny who gets to speak and be heard in #MeToo politics. 
This book will be a valuable resource not only for scholars and students from within the psychological sciences and gender studies, but for the wider social sciences and anyone interested in the psychological grounding of the #MeToo movement.

Recenzii

“Lazard effectively demonstrates how entrenched assumptions around normative heterosexuality are, and how extensively neoliberal ideologies and intersecting power relations have shaped our understanding of sexual harassment and victimisation. Accordingly, readers are provided with effective conceptual tools with which to analyse the #MeToo movement and its impact on society. This book is a very welcome addition to the literature on sexual violence and feminist thought and deserves a place on every researcher’s bookshelf.” (Lois Catrin Donnelly, Feminism & Psychology, Vol. 32 (1), 2022)
“This book would be of greatest interest to those who want to learn more about feminism,postfeminsm and neoliberal feminism and the approach of each to victimization.” (Renata Miljević-Riđički, International Journal of Emotional Education, Vol. 14 (1), June, 2022)
