Consent is used in many different social and legal contexts with the pervasive understanding that it is, and has always been, about autonomy ? but has it? Beginning with an overview of consent?s role in law today, this book investigates the doctrine?s inseparable association with personal autonomy and its effect in producing both idealised and demonised forms of personhood and agency. This prompts a search for alternative understandings of consent. Through an exploration of sexual offences in Antiquity, medical practice in the Middle Ages, and the regulation of bodily harm on the present-day sports field, this book demonstrates that, in contrast to its common sense story of autonomy, consent more often operates as an act of submission than as a form of personal freedom or agency. The book explores the implications of this counter-narrative for the law?s contemporary uses of consent, arguing that the kind of freedom consent is meant to enact might be foreclosed by the very frame in which we think about autonomy itself. This book will be of interest to scholars of many aspects of law, history, and feminism as well as students of criminal law, bioethics, and political theory.

Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de donner une portée clinique et politique à l'aphorisme « Céder n'est pas consentir ». Il démontre la profondeur de cette distinction, en s'appuyant sur la psychanalyse, la philosophie et la littérature. Le consentement porte toujours en lui une énigme, car consentir, c'est dire « oui », sans savoir, sur fond d'un pacte de confiance avec l'autre. Ce fondement énigmatique du consentement, qui peut aussi comporter une ambiguïté, ne doit pas être confondu avec le forçage. Cet essai pose donc la nécessité éthique d'affirmer une frontière entre « consentir » et « céder » en distinguant l'énigme du consentement comme expérience subjective, de l'expérience du traumatisme sexuel et psychique. Examinant les différents degrés du « se laisser faire », depuis l'expérience de la passion amoureuse jusqu'à celle d'un « se forcer soi-même à faire ce qu'on ne désire pas », Clotilde Leguil montre comment la frontière peut devenir trouble. Traumatisme de guerre, traumatisme intime, comment revenir de ce qui s'est produit ? Comment à nouveau consentir à dire ? S'inscrivant dans l'actualité du mouvement metoo, des collages anti-féminicides, et de la parution du récit événement de Vanessa Springora, cet essai, clinique et politique, fait valoir la nécessité de retrouve une langue à soi, pour pouvoir dire « je » à nouveau.

The concepts of popular consent and limit as applied to the exercise of political authority are fundamental features of parliamentary democracy. Both these concepts played a role in medieval political theorizing, although the meaning and significance of political consent in this thought has not been well understood. In a careful, scholarly, and readable survey of the major political texts from Augustine to Ockham, Arthur Monahan analyses the contribution of medieval thought to the development of these two concepts and to the correlative concept of coercion. In addition, he deals with the development of these concepts in Roman and canon law and in the practices of the emerging states of France and England and the Italian city- states, as well as considering works in legal and administrative theory and constitutional documents. In each case his interpretations are placed in the wider context of developments in law, church, and administrative reforms. The result is the first complete study of these three crucial terms as used in the Middle Ages, as well as an excellent summary of work done in a number of specialized fields over the last twenty-five years. The book is of considerable importance not only to medieval studies but to the history of political theory and to political theory itself. It brings together and explains the relevance of a vast amount of material previously known only to a few specialists, documenting Monahan's argument that later political thought has been significantly influenced by medieval formulations of the concepts of consent, coercion, and limit.

Problems regarding the nature of consent are at the heart of many of today's most pressing issues. For example, the #MeToo movement has underscored the need to move beyond viewing consent as a simple matter of yes or no. Consent is complex because humans and their relationships are complicated. Humans, as a result of cognitive limitations and emotional and physical vulnerabilities, are susceptible to manipulation and mistakes. Given the potential for regret, are there some things to which one should not be permitted to consent? The consentability quandary becomes more urgent with technological advances. Should we allow body hacking? Cryogenics? Consumer travel to Mars? Assisted suicide? In Consentability: Consent and Its Limits, Nancy S. Kim proposes a bold, original framework for evaluating consentability, which considers the complexities surrounding consent.
