Abstract: »Japan’s sexual violence against Chinese women has always been emblematic of China’s historical trauma. My presentation surveys a variety of Chinese-language sources in the 1930s and 1940s to examine how the troubling image of “sexually assaulted Chinese women” became essential to the creation of a unified national identity and the mobilization against Japan. Though deeply critical of Japan’s wartime sexual crimes, I hold that portrayals of “sexually assaulted Chinese women” were highly problematic as they were simultaneously Han-centric, patriarchal, and nationalist. I hope to explore an alternative means of understanding and writing sexual violence against women in modern Chinese history.« (Source: Online Program of the National Women's Studies Association)
