More about the book

Exploring the concept of 'public rape,' Tanya Horeck analyzes the societal fascination with images of rape and the portrayal of the raped woman. She examines how these representations function as cultural fantasies tied to sexual, racial, and class differences. By analyzing real-life cases alongside films like The Accused and Boys Don't Cry, Horeck raises critical questions about the interplay between reality and fantasy, as well as the connections between violence and spectacle, highlighting the ongoing impact of these narratives in contemporary culture.
