This book examines the potential impact of rape survivors’ traumatic experiences in post-conflict zones. With specific attention given to the experiences of women who were sexually abused during the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, it addresses the sexuality of survivors, which has so far been inadequately researched, and challenges the stereotypical and victimized images and narrations that have so far prevailed in academic and public discourse about women survivors while exploring the effects of those narratives on the political, social and economic status of the survivors themselves. Methodologically innovative, the book questions the processes of re-victimization that can follow fieldwork with survivors and introduces the theoretical and practical foundations of applied drama and community theater as a research approach in this field, revealing its potential as a means of expressing a range of ethnographic, anthropological and case-study research findings. Based on the narratives of advocates, scholars and different social stakeholders, together with new drama-based methodologies employed directly with survivors, Sexuality after War Rape: From Narrative to Embodied Research offers a sensitive and ethically-responsible research approach to contesting assumptions about the sexualities of survivors of sexual violence and revealing the emancipatory potential of testifying. This book will appeal to scholars of sociology and gender studies, victimology and sexuality.

Epska istorijska avantura smeštena u Jevrejsku oblast poslednjih godina Ruskog carstva – izvanredan roman koji je spoj Violiniste na krovu i Kventina Tarantina. Sa reputacijom vilde chaya, divlje životinje, Fani Kajzman nije poput ostalih žena u Motalu, gradiću u Jevrejskoj oblasti gde se nikad ništa zanimljivo ne događa. Svakako nije kao njena lakoverna sestra Mende, čiji je muž Cvi-Majr pobegao u Minsk, ostavivši porodicu u nemaštini i očaju. Još kao mlada devojka, Fani je osetila izuzetnu strast prema očevoj profesiji ritualnog koljača, mada ju je nerado podučavao, postala je veoma vešta s nožem. Iako je odavno napustila to neprikladno zanimanje – sada je mlekareva žena i majka petoro dece – Fani još uvek drži nož uz svoju desnu nogu. Što bi moglo biti od koristi kada, ne obazirući se na opasnosti sa kojima bi mogla da se susretne jedna Jevrejka koja sama putuje po Carskoj Rusiji, uz pomoć tajanstvenog onemelog čamdžije Ciceka Brešova, bivšeg vojnika neobične prošlosti, krene u potragu za zetom i pokuša da ga vrati kući. Janiv Ickovič pretvara porodičnu dramu u komediju zabune koja će izazvati sukob između carske vojske i ruske tajne policije i ugroziti same temelje Ruske imperije. Prevod sa engleskog Danko Ješić
