Abstract

ABSTRACT What can we learn from cultural practices that are simultaneously narrated as the cause and cure for sexual violation? In recent years, yoga has come to exemplify one such practice. The world of yoga has been roiled by accusations of violation, yet yoga has also gained prominence as a therapeutic tool and even as a policy recommendation to reduce assault. I analyse such competing rhetoric from India and the United States to shed light on how patriarchal and capitalist discourses can gain new vitality in the name of contesting violations they enable. Such cultural logics frame yoga-themed narratives solicited and archived under the sign of the #MeToo hashtag. Cultivating yoga as a feminist practice requires us to examine more radical visions found before and beyond #MeToo, exemplified within memoir and fiction.

瑜伽、性侵犯与话语：重新建构的霸权与女权主义声音

摘要：我们可以从同时被描述为性侵犯的原因和治疗方法的文化实践中学到什么？近年来，瑜伽就是这样一种练习的典范。瑜伽界一直被违规指控所困扰，但瑜伽作为一种治疗工具，甚至作为减少攻击的政策建议，也越来越受到重视。我分析了来自印度和美国的这种相互竞争的言论，以阐明父权制和资本主义话语如何能够以对抗它们所造成的侵犯的名义获得新的活力。这种文化逻辑构成了以瑜伽为主题的叙事，并以#MeToo标签为标志进行征集和存档。将瑜伽作为一种女权主义实践来培养，需要我们审视在#MeToo之前和之后发现的更激进的愿景，回忆录和小说中就是例证。
