On violence and on violence against women w/ Jacqueline Rose
Added 2021-05-17 15:22:10 +0000 UTCJacqueline Rose joins PTO to talk about her new book, On Violence and on Violence against Women. We discussed how psychoanalysis can help us grasp the mental states that make male violence possible, where Jacqueline parts company with the radical feminist perspectives of Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin, and how the experience of trans women illuminates more broadly the nature of male violence against women. Finally, we talked about the violent history of South Africa - from the the colonial and apartheid eras up to the present day.

thanks again Jane. There's so much in the book - I'd really recommend it.

Thank you so much💜xxx PS There will have to be another listen later, and I'm going to read 'None Shall Pass: Trans and the Rewriting of the Body' by Mr Leninology again (and buy Ms Rose's book, of course). Oh dear ... I hope my poor mind is up to all this ...
