Francisca Loetz argues for a new, complementary approach to history of violence as an interpersonal form of social action experienced as unacceptable behavior and aiming to subjugate the victim in everyday life. Analyzing cases of what the sources call “sexual assault” and “sexual abuse” in the city state of Zurich between 1500 and 1850, Loetz discusses fundamental methodological problems such as: how can violence be defined as a concept? What makes violence what it is in a given society? Why is early modern “sexual assault” and “sexual abuse” not equivalent to modern rape and abuse? How does Zurich compare with pre-modern Europe?Studies in Central European histories ;Volume 60.Sex crimesEuropeHistoryRapeEuropeHistorySex crimesHistory.RapeHistory.364.1530940903Loetz Francisca(Historian),893182Selle Rosemary Anne1949-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823503803321A new approach to the history of violence4037272UNINA
