The central argument is that women’s distress is an enactment of their engagement with certain discourses and practices, rather than a reaction triggered by child sexual abuse. Guided by a contemporary feminist framework and Mikhail Bakhtin’s sociological linguistics, to substantiate the argument, women’s own poetry and drawings are used as evidence to develop, support and supplement research findings. The book establishes that an eating disorder is ‘an understandable response’ to sexual trauma and shifts the focus away from ‘a damaged personality’. Even more importantly, it demonstrates that women with eating disorders are using their bodies as a form of resistance to express silenced traumas that remain in the silenced female body. This is an active way of making sense of experiences of child sexual abuse. | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | eating disorders; self-harm; child sexual abuse; sexual trauma; visual research methodology; qualitative | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-33-6296-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-981-33-6298-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-981-33-6296-3 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
