Abstract

Abstract Public discussion of sexual victimization has intensified within the US context and globally. One noteworthy feature of recent public discourse in the US is that it calls for a broadening of responsibility with respect to both the parties involved and the forms of sexual victimization for which people are held to account. Yet often the narratives about responsibility and practices of responsibility-taking that dominate in this discussion remain individualizing and penalizing. This essay takes stock of the myriad failures of responsibility for sexual injustices in these existing practices and narratives. The first section outlines four philosophical objections to common ways of thinking about responsibility. The second section extends these objections by analyzing the dominant neoliberal narrative framework for responsibility so as then to critique how responsibility is thought about and practiced in relation to sexuality. Finally, given the failures of these narratives and practices, the third section elaborates an alternative that can redress them: an intersectional feminist account of responsibility for sexual injustices that is nonpunitive and takes responsibility to be an intentional practice of altering social relations.
性不公正的责任:走向跨部门的解释
在美国和全球范围内,公众对性受害的讨论愈演愈烈。最近美国公共话语的一个值得注意的特点是,它呼吁扩大责任范围,既要考虑涉及的各方,也要考虑人们要为之负责的性侵害形式。然而,在这一讨论中占主导地位的关于责任和承担责任的实践的叙述往往仍然是个体化和惩罚性的。这篇文章盘点了在这些现有的实践和叙述中,对性不公正负责的无数失败。第一部分概述了对责任的一般思考方式的四种哲学异议。第二部分通过分析占主导地位的新自由主义责任叙事框架来扩展这些反对意见,从而批评责任是如何被思考和实践与性有关的。最后,考虑到这些叙述和实践的失败,第三部分阐述了一种可以纠正它们的替代方案:一种交叉的女权主义对性不公正责任的描述,这种描述是非惩罚性的,并将责任视为改变社会关系的有意实践。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
