Resumo:
Consentimento e violência sexual
O #MeToo impulsionou a reflexão em torno da violência sexual, das suas dinâmicas genderizadas, do consentimento e dos seus limites. Embora o consentimento não tenha uma definição unívoca na literatura científica, a sua discussão tem recebido novo destaque nos contextos académico e mediático. Tornado conceito central de múltiplas campanhas de prevenção da violência sexual, o consentimento foi elevado a norma da ética sexual.
Também na esfera jurídica, a centralidade do consentimento é observável, por exemplo, no texto da Convenção de Istambul (2011), documento de enorme relevância no combate à violência contra as mulheres (Duarte 2013; Ventura, 2015, 2018).
A crítica feminista ao consentimento conta já, no entanto, com décadas de reflexão profícua (e.g. Pateman 1980; MacKinnon 1989, 2016; Gavey 2019; Faustino & Gavey 2024; Jeffrey 2024), que apontam a matriz liberal e contratualista do consentimento e assinalam as suas insuficiências. Também as relações entre consentimento e a indústria do sexo têm sido debatidas e problematizadas (Tranchese & Sigura 2021; Tranchese 2024). No âmbito das críticas feministas ao consentimento, têm sido discutidas alternativas, como o conceito de mutualidade (Lamb et al. 2021).
Neste número temático, pretendemos explorar diversas abordagens ao consentimento e à violência sexual. Temas possíveis incluem:
● Reflexões teóricas sobre o consentimento sexual e possíveis alternativas;
● Dinâmicas genderizadas da violência sexual;
● Estudos empíricos sobre campanhas de prevenção da violência sexual;
● Representações mediáticas do consentimento e da violência sexual;
● Culpabilização das vítimas-sobreviventes de violência sexual;
● Abordagens sociojurídicas ao consentimento e violência sexual;
● Análises comparadas sobre o consentimento e os crimes sexuais em diferentes ordenamentos jurídicos;
● Estudos empíricos sobre consentimento e violência sexual;
● Representações do consentimento sexual na literatura (obras de ficção e autobiográficas);
● Abordagens ao #MeToo em diversos enquadramentos culturais;
● Estudos sociolinguísticos sobre consentimento e violência sexual;
● Relações entre consentimento e prostituição;
● Relações entre consentimento e pornografia;
● Relações entre consentimento e violência obstétrica;
● Consentimento e Inteligência Artificial.
Esta lista não pretende ser exaustiva. Encoraja-se a apresentação de outras propostas que se enquadrem no tema do dossiê. Aceitam-se textos em português, inglês, espanhol e francês.

Summary
Consent and Sexual Violence
The #MeToo movement has sparked reflection on sexual violence, its gendered dynamics, consent, and its limits. Although consent does not have a single, unequivocal definition in scientific literature, its discussion has received renewed attention in academic and media contexts. Elevated to the norm of sexual ethics, consent has become a central concept in multiple campaigns to prevent sexual violence.
In the legal sphere, the centrality of consent is also evident, for example, in the text of the Istanbul Convention (2011), a document of enormous importance in combating violence against women (Duarte 2013; Ventura 2015; 2018).
However, feminist critiques of consent have already produced decades of fruitful reflection (e.g., Pateman 1980; MacKinnon 1989; 2016; Gavey 2019; Faustino & Gavey 2024; Jeffrey 2024), highlighting the liberal and contractualist framework of consent and pointing out its shortcomings. The relationships between consent and the sex industry have also been debated and problematized (O'Bryan 2024; Tranchese 2024; Tranchese & Sugiura 2021). Within feminist critiques of consent, alternatives have been proposed, such as the concept of mutuality (Lamb et al. 2021).
For this thematic issue, we aim to explore diverse approaches to consent and sexual violence.
Possible Topics Include, among others:
● Theoretical reflections on sexual consent and possible alternatives;
● Gendered dynamics of sexual violence;
● Empirical studies on sexual violence prevention campaigns;
● Media representations of consent and sexual violence;
● Victim-survivor blaming in cases of sexual violence;
● Socio-legal approaches to consent and sexual violence;
● Comparative analyses of consent and sexual crimes in different legal systems;
● Empirical studies on consent and sexual violence;
● Representations of sexual consent in literature (fictional and autobiographical works);
● Approaches to #MeToo in diverse cultural contexts;
● Sociolinguistic studies on consent and sexual violence;
● Relationships between consent and prostitution;
● Relationships between consent and pornography;
● Relationships between consent and obstetric violence;
● Consent and Artificial Intelligence.
This list is not intended to be exhaustive. We encourage the submission of proposals that fit the theme of the dossier. Texts are accepted in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French.

Resumen
Consentimiento y violencia sexual
El movimiento #MeToo ha impulsado la reflexión sobre la violencia sexual, sus dinámicas de género, el consentimiento y sus límites. Aunque el consentimiento no tiene una definición única e inequívoca en la literatura científica, su discusión ha recibido una atención renovada en contextos académicos y mediáticos. Elevado a la categoría de ética sexual, el consentimiento se ha convertido en un concepto central en muchas campañas para prevenir la violencia sexual.
En el ámbito jurídico, la centralidad del consentimiento también es evidente, por ejemplo, en el texto del Convenio de Estambul (2011), un documento que constituye un marco en la lucha contra la violencia contra las mujeres (Duarte 2013; Ventura 2015; 2018).
Sin embargo, las críticas feministas al consentimiento han producido ya décadas de reflexión fructífera (por ejemplo, Pateman 1980; MacKinnon 1989; 2016; Gavey 2019; Faustino & Gavey 2024; Jeffrey 2024), poniendo de manifiesto la perspectiva liberal y contractualista del consentimiento y señalando sus insuficiencias. También se han debatido y problematizado las relaciones entre el consentimiento y la industria del sexo (O'Bryan 2024; Tranchese 2024; Tranchese y Sugiura 2021). Dentro de las críticas feministas al consentimiento, se han propuesto alternativas, como el concepto de mutualidad (Lamb et al. 2021).
Para este número temático, nos proponemos explorar diversos enfoques sobre el consentimiento y las violencias sexuales.
Los posibles temas incluyen, entre otros:
● Reflexiones teóricas sobre el consentimiento sexual y posibles alternativas;
● Dinámicas de género de las violencias sexuales;
● Estudios empíricos sobre campañas de prevención de las violencias sexuales;
● Representaciones mediáticas del consentimiento y la violencia sexual;
● Culpabilización de la víctima-sobreviviente en casos de violencia sexual;
● Enfoques sociojurídicos del consentimiento y la violencia sexual;
● Análisis comparativos del consentimiento y los delitos sexuales en diferentes sistemas jurídicos;
● Estudios empíricos sobre el consentimiento y la violencia sexual;
● Representaciones del consentimiento sexual en la literatura (obras de ficción y autobiográficas);
● Aproximaciones al #MeToo en diversos contextos culturales;
● Estudios sociolingüísticos sobre consentimiento y violencia sexual;
● Relaciones entre consentimiento y prostitución;
● Relaciones entre consentimiento y pornografía;
● Relaciones entre consentimiento y violencia obstétrica;
● Consentimiento e inteligencia artificial.
Esta lista no pretende ser exhaustiva. Por tanto, también son bienvenidas otras propuestas que se ajusten al tema del dosier. Se aceptan textos en portugués, inglés, español y francés.

Consentement et violence sexuelle
Le mouvement #MeToo a suscité une réflexion sur les violences sexuelles, leur dynamique genrée, le consentement et ses limites. Bien que le consentement n'ait pas de définition unique et univoque dans la littérature scientifique, sa discussion a fait l'objet d'un regain d'attention dans les contextes académiques et médiatiques. Élevé au rang de norme de l'éthique sexuelle, le consentement est devenu un concept central dans de nombreuses campagnes de prévention des violences sexuelles.
Dans la sphère juridique, le rôle central du consentement est également évident, notamment dans le texte de la Convention d'Istanbul (2011), un document d'une importance considérable dans la lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes (Duarte 2013 ; Ventura 2015 ; 2018).
Les critiques féministes du consentement ont donné lieu à des décennies de réflexion fructueuse (par exemple, Pateman 1980 ; MacKinnon 1989 ; 2016 ; Gavey 2019 ; Faustino & Gavey 2024 ; Jeffrey 2024), mettant en évidence le cadre libéral et contractualiste du consentement et soulignant ses lacunes. Les relations entre le consentement et l'industrie du sexe ont également été débattues et problématisées (O'Bryan 2024 ; Tranchese 2024 ; Tranchese & Sugiura 2021). Dans le cadre des critiques féministes du consentement, des alternatives ont été proposées, telles que le concept de mutualité (Lamb et al. 2021).
Pour ce dossier thématique, nous visons à explorer diverses approches du consentement et de la violence sexuelle.
Les sujets possibles comprennent, entre autres :
● Des réflexions théoriques sur le consentement sexuel et les alternatives possibles ;
● Dynamiques genrées de la violence sexuelle ;
● Des études empiriques sur les campagnes de prévention des violences sexuelles ;
● Les représentations médiatiques du consentement et de la violence sexuelle ;
● La culpabilisation de la victime-survivante dans les cas de violences sexuelles ;
● Les approches socio-juridiques du consentement et des violences sexuelles ;
● Des analyses comparatives du consentement et des crimes sexuels dans différents systèmes juridiques ;
● Des études empiriques sur le consentement et les violences sexuelles ;
● Les représentations du consentement sexuel dans la littérature (œuvres fictionnelles et autobiographiques) ;
● Les approches de #MeToo dans divers contextes culturels ;
● Les études sociolinguistiques sur le consentement et les violences sexuelles ;
● Les relations entre le consentement et la prostitution ;
● Les relations entre le consentement et la pornographie ;
● Les relations entre le consentement et les violences obstétricales ;
● Le consentement et l'intelligence artificielle.
Cette liste ne se veut pas exhaustive. D’autres propositions qui s’encadrent dans le thème du dossier seront les bienvenues. Les textes sont acceptés en portugais, anglais, espagnol et français.
