Document Summary
The hysterical woman in canadian history, part ii: the trouble with triggers. Exporting sexuality to the lower orders : from hysterical to hypersexual. Many would argue that we are living in an age in which issues of secuality are understood primarily as individualized psychology. But on a political levels, approaches that over individualize are the product of larger stuctures of power. Is there a different approach: rather than psychologize we should historicize and politicize sexuality, that approach does not come from this current moment but from one preceding it. Preceding = the feminist movement has been forced on the defensive. These movements once had more visibility n the world. Social movements pushed on the defensive has created a void and has been replaced by the trigger alerts and the emphasis on the individual. Individualist approach has been aided by rise of neoliberalism: dubinsky, the meanings of sexual assault has changed drastically.
