It argues that while the depositions contain few explicit accounts of rape, this scarcity reflects societal constraints and the limited understanding of sexual violence at the time, rather than the infrequency of such acts. The author analyzes the language used in the depositions, suggesting that it often obscures the reality of sexual violence, and highlights the broader spectrum of sexual assaults that may have occurred during the rebellion. Ultimately, the article calls for a reevaluation of historical narratives surrounding gendered violence in wartime, emphasizing the need to recognize the complexities and ambiguities present in these accounts. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
