DESCRIPTION:In this CoDE lunchtime seminar\, Professor Alison Phipps (Yor
 k St John University) shares her research.\n\nSUMMARY\nWhat are the rela
 tionships between sexual violence\, sexual fear\, social control\, and s
 urplus value? What is the role of sexual violence as racial capitalist s
 ystems corral\, mould\, use\, and discard the workers they require? Sexu
 al violence is key to the enclosure of bodies\, and to the extraction of
  productive and socially reproductive labour. Sexual violence is a techn
 ique by which resources are expropriated\, and communities and peoples t
 errorised and dispossessed. Sexual violence is also a pretext for the di
 sposal of unwanted populations through criminal punishment\, militarised
  border regimes\, neo-colonial wars\, and genocide.\n\nThis talk is base
 d on the forthcoming book Sexual Violence in Racial Capitalism (Manchest
 er University Press)\, which brings together assorted case studies inclu
 ding the Early Modern witch hunts\, reproductive accumulation in transat
 lantic slavery\, sexual harassment in drop-shipping warehouses and sweat
 shops\, far-right Islamophobia and ‘anti-gender’ activism\, the manosphe
 re\, and the Gaza genocide. It describes the coloniality of sexual viole
 nce\, situating both acts of sexual violence and ideas of sexual threat 
 within an analysis of racial capitalist property relations and the split
  colonial/modern psyche. It also argues that violence is necessary becau
 se power is incomplete: from bodily to planetary scales\, resistance per
 sists.\n\nThis seminar will be recorded.\n\nHOW TO JOIN US\nYou can atte
