En Haïti, la reconquête du corps après un viol

Obrillant Damus

Abstrak

Rape is a polytraumatic event that affects the victims’ feeling of being a body and the feeling of having a body. It causes psychological, psychological and physical suffering. The raped body is an enslaved body that must be tamed. Many women victims of rape resort to real and symbolic therapies in order to rebuild themselves after the events. These techniques of self-reconstruction allow them to put their bodies back at the centre of their existence, to reaffirm the cleanliness of their body space, to re-appropriate the subject body and to reintegrate themselves into the world. The aim of this article is twofold: 1) to study the consequences of rape on the victims’ bodies as a place where identities are fabricated, and 2) to describe how victims go about creating bodily order out of the existential chaos they experience.
