Omschrijving
"The New Sex Wars is extremely well mapped and well conceived. Cossman’s capacity to wrestle an unwieldy social problem to the ground and apply a clear and analytic eye is unparalleled. This book will make a significant contribution to gender studies, especially in law but also more generally."
"The New Sex Wars is extremely well mapped and well conceived. Cossman’s capacity to wrestle an unwieldy social problem to the ground and apply a clear and analytic eye is unparalleled. This book will make a significant contribution to gender studies, especially in law but also more generally."
"Brenda Cossman clears a fabulously feminist path out of the ‘sex wars of infinite regress.’ By reconstructing the polarizing flashpoints of our contemporary sexual politics, The New Sex Wars impresses upon us the urgency of reading for repair. Too much ink has been spilt charting the alleged antipathies across feminisms; Cossman instead mines generative contestations within feminist formations so that we might countenance rather than caricature our comrades’ definitions of, and proposed remedies against, sexual violence. Taking sexual harm seriously, Cossman shows, will require unlinking anger from vengeance and decoupling justice from the carceral."
"If anyone has the potential to upend the recursive logic of the sex wars it is Brenda Cossman, whose writing has for years used nuance, empathy, and humor to offer confident, innovative queer critiques that nonetheless speak to feminist sensibilities. Here she takes on that project of repair or reconciliation in earnest, and connects it to a set of controversies that will garner her a wide range of readers. Cossman’s clear-eyed, imaginative reconceptualization should by all rights transform this debate, but will in any case deeply enrich its participants."
"The New Sex Wars is essential reading for those interested in a nuanced evaluation of feminist contestations over sex, both present and past."
"Cossman provides a nuanced and illuminating analysis of the role of due process talk in #MeToo discussions, and of contestations regarding ‘sexual misconduct’ … The New Sex Wars is an excellent exercise in how to think about contemporary feminist issues."
"In The New Sex Wars: Sexual Harm in the #MeToo Era, Brenda Cossman, a law professor, dubs #MeToo 'Sex Wars 2.0' even as she aims to disrupt 'binary antagonisms' by building on the insights of 'sex-positive feminism, queer theory, and anti-carceral feminism'... [she] provide[s] us with important insights about the interrelationships among feminism, sexuality, harm, pleasure, and race."
Brenda Cossman is the Goodman-Schipper Chair and Professor of Law at the University of Toronto. She is the author of The New Sex Wars: Sexual Harm in the #MeToo Era and Sexual Citizens: The Legal and Cultural Regulation of Sex and Belonging.
