ABSTRACT

This article highlights the persistence and violence of rape culture not only insofar as it pertains to sexual aggression but also in reference to arguments used in court cases. The language and body language used by defence attorneys add to the psychological pain suffered by the victim in having to face her aggressor(s) and relive a traumatic experience. I will analyse some contemporary British and Spanish works of literature that bring to the fore the structural misogyny women face today. Louise Doughty’s novel Apple Tree Yard and Jordi Casanovas’s play Jauría (Wolfpack) are particularly explicit in their treatment of court cases concerning rape while drawing on certain characteristics of verbatim theatre. The gang rape and subsequent trials that are at the core of Wolfpack attracted international attention because they clearly signalled towards a persistent loathing of and disregard for women.

有缺陷的论点、结构性厌女症和强奸文化:当代文学中的法庭案件

摘要

本文强调强奸文化的持久性和暴力性,不仅涉及性侵犯,还涉及法庭案件中使用的论点。辩护律师使用的语言和肢体语言增加了受害者在面对攻击者和重温创伤经历时所遭受的心理痛苦。我将分析一些当代英国和西班牙文学作品,这些作品突出了当今女性面临的结构性厌女症。Louise Doughty 的小说Apple Tree Yard和 Jordi Casanovas 的戏剧Jauría ( Wolfpack ) 在处理涉及强奸的法庭案件时特别明确,同时借鉴了逐字记录的某些特征剧院。作为Wolfpack核心的轮奸和随后的审判引起了国际关注,因为它们清楚地表明了对女性的持续厌恶和漠视。
