摘要

本文以1937年多萝西·梅·埃弗雷特在新南威尔士州纽卡斯尔被施虐者谋杀为例，反思20世纪20年代至50年代澳大利亚的性暴力与精神病学。埃弗雷特的谋杀引发了关于澳大利亚男子气概、阶级、种族退化和性犯罪的辩论。它引起了人们对“虐待狂”精神病学诊断的空前兴趣。这些施虐性强奸谋杀揭示了澳大利亚性施虐者的日常构造?人们是如何获得变态的知识的?精神病分类系统有影响吗?伊恩·哈金(Ian Hacking)的“化妆”人的概念，对精神病学对性暴力的理解的知识传播进行了反思。

“A Deed of the Darkest Violence”: Rape and the Emergence of Sadism in Australian Psychiatry, 1920–1950

ABSTRACT This article uses the sadist murder in 1937 of Dorothy May Everett in Newcastle (NSW) to reflect on sexual violence and psychiatry in Australia between the 1920s and the 1950s. Everett’s murder incited debates about Australian masculinity, class, racial degeneration and sex crimes. It led to an unprecedented popular interest in the psychiatric diagnosis of “sadism”. What do these sadistic rape-murders reveal about everyday constructions of the sexual sadist in Australia? How did people gain knowledge of perversions? Did psychiatric classification systems make a difference? Ian Hacking’s concept of “making up” people is productive for reflecting on the spread of knowledge about psychiatric understandings of sexual violence.
