| Title | (De)constructing war rape(d) identities- awareness raising politics on mass wartime rapes in Congo |
| Summary | This thesis is grounded on an exploration of texts which are written in order to raise awareness regarding the mass rapes of women occurring during the armed conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo between 1996 and the present time. (Re)presentations of mass wartime rape will be engaged critically in reference to a theoretical framework which combines features of post-colonialism and feminist critical theory on the intersection of rape and war. The aim is to understand how is rape constituted as a paradigm and, furthermore, how does it function as a means of constructing imagined identities such as: the “Western” imagined interpretive community, the Congolese imaginative rape geography and the imagined monolithic victim and villain. |
