Abstract

Early in her book, Reclaiming the Night-Time Economy: Unwanted Sexual Attention in Pubs and Clubs, Bianca Fileborn (2016: 7) suggests that sexual violence research often focuses on illegal forms of harm, such as rape, sexual assault and child sexual abuse.However, as we have witnessed in the recent international #MeToo and #ShoutingBack movements, there is a growing awareness that there are many other forms of sexual violence, including unwanted sexual behaviours or attention, and everyday encounters of sexual violence that may not be included in legal definitions (Fileborn 2016;Bates 2014;Collier Hillstrom 2019).Earlier research has placed unwanted sexual behaviours or attention within a continuum from 'unharmful' forms of sexual behaviour to 'harmful' forms of sexual behaviour (Kelly 1991); here, Fileborn (2016) employs a poststructuralist approach to explore the instability of this continuum.
