- 요약Many of the estimated 1,000 American rape crisis centers trace can their roots to the 1970s, when anti-rape feminist activists established funding partnerships with the public health and criminal justice systems. Abolitionist theorists have criticized the endorsement of mass incarceration and increased policing that this approach mobilizes in the name of protecting women. This project responds to these criticisms and similar concerns in the sexual violence service community by investigating the post-1970 anti-rape movement's negotiation of a liberatory feminist public health project within state systems of power. Through a community-based participatory research partnership with Resilience, a Chicago rape crisis center, I conducted twenty-three qualitative interviews with those self-identifying as victims/survivors (V/S) of sexual violence, rape crisis counselors, and/or sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs). Interviews were combined with archival research on 1970s and '80s anti-rape organizing in Chicago. Findings based on thematic coding and rhetorical analysis showed that 1970s feminists mobilized a juxtaclinical discourse of "trauma" to legitimize rape as a public health crisis, a path which turned the movement away from intersectional community support and toward the medical-industrial complex. Interview participants expressed both affordances and drawbacks to the contemporary "trauma-informed care" framework, but a majority felt that long-term support and justice were not easily achievable within the current system. This dissertation argues that these findings demonstrate the power of biocertification to both mobilize social movements and make or break transformative coalitional politics. Further, I argue that disability justice theory can provide productive insights for the redirection of rape crisis services from trauma-informed care towards a service structure that better meets community needs.
