"She wasn't exactly a virgin, was she?": Problematising gendered constructions of respectability in biblical and contemporary rape

建议摘要：本研究对他玛（撒母耳记下13章）的强奸案进行了仔细的阅读，他玛被广泛认为是一个“值得”同情的受害者（Trible 1984:48），并对强奸投诉人的当代描述进行了研究。本研究运用性别理论和女权主义文学批评，通过对圣经和当代强奸案件中交叉性别身份与体面之间的关系进行调查，挑战了强奸在受害者描绘中隐含的明显等级。这将揭示和探索社会偏见，并导致对不相信文化如何在暴力性犯罪的低报道中发生的分析。

Proposed summary: This research applies a close reading of the rape of Tamar (2 Samuel 13), widely considered to be a victim `worthy' of sympathy (Trible 1984:48), to contemporary portrayals of rape complainants. Using gender theory and feminist literary criticism, this research challenges the apparent gradations of rape implicit in how victims are portrayed, by interrogating the relationship between intersectional gender identities and respectability in both biblical and contemporary rape cases. This will disclose and probe social prejudices and lead on to an analysis of how disbelief culture transpires in the under-reporting of violent sex crimes.
