Sommario/riassunto

This volume analyses rape culture through the lens of the Me Too era. Drawing feminist theory into conversation with peace studies and improvisation theory, it advocates for peace-building opportunities to transform culture and for the improvisatory resources of culture-jamming as a mechanism to dismantle rape culture. The key argument is that cultural attitudes and behaviours can be shifted through introduction of disrupting narratives, so each chapter ends with a culture-jammed re-telling of a traditional fairy tale.
