Final CFP SfAA 2018: Writing and Representing Gender-Based Violence
Title: Writing and Representing Gender-Based Violence
Chair: Georgina Ramsay (University of Delaware)
Organizers: Georgina Ramsay (University of Delaware) and Elizabeth Wirtz (Purdue University)
Abstract: Narratives of sexual and gender-based violence (GBV) represent a problem to ethnographers, as the process of rendering these intimate and traumatic experiences public often risks reproducing universalizing, sensationalizing, and essentializing tropes of victims as vulnerable and/or resilient. But attempting to contextualize such experiences can often seem like downplaying their significance to those who live them. This impasse can stymie purposeful action and the possibility of forging sustainable futures for those living with the effects of violence, GBV or otherwise. In this panel, we problematize and explore ways to meaningfully engage with experiences of gendered violence without reproducing tropes of suffering.
