Abstract

In September 2013 student leaders at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, used a chant about the rape of underage girls as part of an Orientation Week activity for new students. The incident garnered national and international media coverage. In this article, we analyze and critique a selection of Canadian media articles published in the weeks after the rape chant was used. We draw on feminist analysis of post-feminism and the sexualization of youth cultures to show how, in their struggle to make sense of the incident, the media critique reiterates harmful discourses of youth, gender and sexuality while undermining deeper understanding of rape culture.

圣玛丽强奸圣歌
2013年9月,新斯科舍省哈利法克斯的圣玛丽大学(Saint Mary’s University)的学生领袖在新生迎新周活动中吟唱了一首关于未成年女孩被强奸的歌曲。这一事件引起了国内外媒体的广泛报道。在这篇文章中,我们分析和批评了一些加拿大媒体在强奸口号被使用后几周内发表的文章。我们利用女权主义者对后女权主义和青年文化的性化的分析来展示,在他们努力理解这一事件的过程中,媒体的批评是如何重申对青年、性别和性的有害话语,同时破坏了对强奸文化的更深层次的理解。

期刊介绍: Girlhood Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is a peer-reviewed journal providing a forum for the critical discussion of girlhood from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and for the dissemination of current research and reflections on girls'' lives to a broad, cross-disciplinary audience of scholars, researchers, practitioners in the fields of education, social service and health care and policy makers. International and interdisciplinary in scope, it is committed to feminist, anti-discrimination, anti-oppression approaches and solicits manuscripts from a variety of disciplines. The mission of the journal is to bring together contributions from and initiate dialogue among perspectives ranging from medical and legal practice, ethnographic inquiry, philosophical reflection, historical investigations, literary, cultural and media research to curriculum design and policy-making. Topics addressed within the journal include girls and schooling, girls and feminism, girls and sexuality, girlhood in the context of Boyhood Studies, girls and new media and popular culture, representation of girls in different media, histories of girlhood, girls and development.
