Resumo: Inspired by the understanding that sexual violence does not occur solely between males and females but also includes children, transgender people, homosexuals as well as elderly people, the present study questions the concept of rape as a weapon of war proposed by the feminist approach. According to this theoretical perspective, rape is a manifestation of power and the exercise of masculinity against women. Supported by culture and gender studies, the present research is a critique of the concept of rape as a weapon of war since it is a military and masculine perspective through which the dynamics of power and violence, as well as the restriction of human rights, encompass only the binary man and woman. Therefore, this research concludes that rape as a weapon of war serves to legitimize the patriarchal perspective on the subaltern place that women occupy in society, feeding the silence and victimization of all people whose rape damages their physical body and dignity, making it a closed perspective by excluding, masculinizing, and, victimizing all people subjected to rape in war conflicts.

spelling Rape culture as a weapon of war: A gender and cultural studies approachCultura de estupro como arma de guerra: Abordagem dos Estudos Culturais e de GéneroInspired by the understanding that sexual violence does not occur solely between males and females but also includes children, transgender people, homosexuals as well as elderly people, the present study questions the concept of rape as a weapon of war proposed by the feminist approach. According to this theoretical perspective, rape is a manifestation of power and the exercise of masculinity against women. Supported by culture and gender studies, the present research is a critique of the concept of rape as a weapon of war since it is a military and masculine perspective through which the dynamics of power and violence, as well as the restriction of human rights, encompass only the binary man and woman.

De acordo com esta perspetiva teórica, o estupro é um fenómeno que ocorre como manifestação de poder e exercício da masculinidade contra as mulheres. Sustentado pelos estudos culturais e de género, e pela revisão bibliográfica, este estudo propõe uma crítica à abordagem sobre estupro como arma de guerra por entender que esta é uma perspetiva militar e masculina e que responde a um pressuposto limitante no qual as dinâmicas de opressão e restrição de direitos englobam apenas o binário homem e mulher. Assim, conclui-se que a abordagem estupro como arma de guerra serve para legitimar a perspetiva patriarcal sobre o lugar subalterno das mulheres na sociedade, alimentando o silêncio e a vitimização por parte de todas as pessoas a quem o estupro danifica o seu corpo físico e a sua dignidade, o que torna esta abordagem fechada, excludente, masculinizada e vitimizadora.Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro2022-07-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistadeletras.utad.pt/index.php/revistadeletras/article/view/290Revista de Letras UTAD; Vol 1 No 3 (2022): Revista de Letras UTAD / Cultural Sciences; 21-46Revista de Letras UTAD; Vol. 1 Núm. 3 (2022): Revista de Letras UTAD / Ciências da Cultura; 21-46Revista de Letras UTAD; Vol 1 Nº 3 (2022): Revista de Letras UTAD / Ciências da Cultura; 21-460874-7962reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistadeletras.utad.pt/index.php/revistadeletras/article/view/290https://revistadeletras.utad.pt/index.php/revistadeletras/article/view/290/126Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Tânia Machonisse, Orquidea Moreira Ribeirohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachonisse, TâniaRibeiro, Orquidea Moreira2023-03-18T04:31:26Zoai:ojs.revistas.utad.pt:article/290Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:50:13.608198Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
