Аннотация

This course explores the history of gender violence as a dynamic interplay between systemic structures and individual agency, tracing its transformation from the early modern period to the present day. Beginning with the witch hunts of early modern Europe and the cultural production of gendered persecution through the idea of witchcraft, the course examines how genders and bodies have been historically disciplined through law, religion, and social norms. It critically analyzes the emergence of modern policing and its entanglement with gender norms, alongside the resistance movements that have challenged these systems. The course will not focus solely on the Russian experience but will explore the wide spectrum of gender violence across various cultural and historical contexts worldwide. The scope extends beyond domestic violence to include war, trafficking, and other systemic forms of violence, over which feminist legal theorists create some alternatives. While violence remains a central focus, the course will also emphasize historical options of non-violence and restorative justice. By engaging with historical case studies—such as witch trials, wartime violence, and the criminalization of sex work—and contemporary issues like true crime obsession, the course uncovers the enduring nature of sexual violence, its evolving forms, and its persistent role in shaping different dynamics across societies.
