Michel Foucault's work on freedom, subjectivity, and power is now central to thinking across a range of disciplines, including philosophy, history, education, psychology, politics, anthropology, sociology, and criminology. This title explores his central ideas, such as disciplinary power, biopower, bodies, spirituality, and practices of the self.
Humiliation is explored as a critical aspect of sexual violence against women, emphasizing its impact on self-perception. The book utilizes Foucault's critique of subjectivity to offer feminist perspectives that challenge and counteract the experiences of humiliation linked to sexual violence. It provides a theoretical framework for understanding how these dynamics affect women's identities and resilience.
