Online talk: sexual violence as a strategy of enclosure

I’m doing an online talk for the BSA study group on Sociology, Psychoanalysis and the Psychosocial on 7th July (3pm). It focuses on the first chapter of my upcoming book, and is entitled ‘Sexual violence as a strategy of enclosure: an anti-origin story.’

The talk is free but you do need to register, which you can do here. All welcome and do share onwards if you think others would be interested. Mor

Quotes by Alison Phipps (?)

“White women have a right to be angry about sexual violence. Survivors have a right to spaces without abusers. All survivors fantasise about revenge. But whose bodies are forfeit when white women mobilise punitive state and institutional power to achieve it? Who are the real casualties of the white feminist war machine?”
― Alison Phipps, Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism

“Trans-exclusionary and anti-sex-work feminism amplify the mainstream movement’s desire for power and authority, and pursue it by policing the borders of feminism and womanhood. The mainstream preoccupation with threat becomes an overt ‘us and them’ mentality, and the necropolitical desire for annihilation is deliberately turned on more marginalised people.”
― Alison Phipps, Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism

“There is narcissism in [the] white feminist refusal of intersectionality, this privileging of gender over race, class and other categories of oppression.”
― Alison Phipps, Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism
