Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ist der Lustmörder eine kulturelle Ikone. Am rasanten Aufstieg dieser Figur sind Kriminologen, Psychiater und Literaten gleichermaßen beteiligt. In wissenschaftlichen und literarischen Fallgeschichten erzählen sie vom Lustmord als einer allgegenwärtigen Gefahr, in deren Ausgrenzung sich eine Gesellschaft ihre eigenen Gesetze und Normen vorzuschreiben versucht. Vor diesem Hintergrund rekonstruiert dieses Buch die Entstehung kriminologischen Wissens im Schnittfeld von Wissenschaft und Literatur. Dem Lustmord kommt dabei eine Schlüsselrolle zu: Seine besondere Spektakularität trägt nicht nur zur Veranschaulichung und Popularisierung kriminologischer Konzepte bei, sie ist auch ein wesentlicher Bestandteil ihrer Epistemologie.

This Element turns to the stage to ask a simple question about gender and affect: what causes the shame of the early modern rape victim? Beneath honour codes and problematic assumptions about consent, the answer lies in affect, disgust. It explores both the textual "performance" of affect, how literary language works to evoke emotions and the ways disgust can work in theatrical performance. Here Shakespeare's poem The Rape of Lucrece is the classic paradigm of sexual pollution and shame, where disgust's irrational logic of contamination leaves the raped wife in a permanent state of uncleanness that spreads from body to soul. Staging Disgust offers alternatives to this depressing trajectory: Middleton's Women Beware Women and Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus perform disgust with a difference, deploying the audience's revulsion to challenge the assumption that a raped woman should "naturally" feel intolerable shame.

"Quand il est question de littérature, il y a un motif dont le traitement ne cesse de surprendre : celui de la passion. Confondue - parfois à dessein - avec l'amour, elle est le masque sous lequel se dissimulent toutes sortes d'abus ; des manipulations constitutives de la séduction aux situations d'emprise, des dynamiques de harcèlement aux crimes dits "passionnels". Cet ouvrage montre comment l'identification des actes des protagonistes d'œuvres littéraires à l'expression d'une "passion" permet d'occulter la question du consentement, celle des rapports de domination et, plus largement, les violences physiques et psychologiques que subissent les femmes. Il souligne la dimension idéologique de l'approche esthétisante des œuvres qui, sous couvert de s'opposer à la cancel culture, passe sous silence le bafouement de la dignité humaine mis en récit. De Dom Juan à La Princesse de Clèves, des écrits de Choderlos de Laclos à ceux de Marguerite Duras et d'Annie Ernaux, les autrices de ce livre nous invitent à poser un regard lucide sur l'évolution des conceptions culturelles et littéraires dans la société française, ainsi qu'à interroger en profondeur les raisons pour lesquelles l'amour y demeure indissociable de la souffrance"--Page 4 of cover.
