“…To put matters crudely, while others can harm my body, only I can harm my soul. As noted above, Other's affect my core structures, and, as Connie Mui conclusively shows, on Sartrean grounds, rape impacts women ontologically, see her exemplary (2005).…”

This essay addresses ‘the God‐haunted Atheist paradox’ in Sartre's early philosophy and argues against a series of efforts to show that Sartre maintains a ‘secular theology’. It shows that if Sartre's ontology is correct, the God of ‘classic theism’ cannot possibly exist. It argues against two sophisticated efforts to show that theological influences infiltrate Sartre's early ontology and permeate his moral psychology. It also rejects the claim that Sartre's (Existentialism is a Humanism, 1946/2007, Yale University Press) distinction between secular and religious existentialism ‘has no basis in fact’. It shows that Sartre appropriates religious language in order to give debunking secular explanations for religious phenomena and that he inverts traditional Christian values. It concludes that Sartre is an anti‐theologian.

“…Th e most striking way this manifests is through Natsumi's sexual empowerment. Constance Mui (2005) argues that traumatic violence, such as rape, severs the body's unity with the self. For a person to "feel at home in the world, one must fi rst feel at home with one's body" (2005,160).…”

Visualising Shattered Lives: Potentiality in Representations of Rape Victimisation in Contemporary Japan

Th is article examines how cinematic representations of rape can challenge the silence which surrounds the issue of rape and sexual violence in Japan. A textual analysis of two contemporary fi ctional Japanese fi lms, DV: Domestic Violence [2005] and The Ravine of Goodbye [2013], was performed to illustrate how fi lmmakers can use narrative and cinematographic techniques to infl uence the viewer to refl ect upon their attitudes to rape and rape victims. By examining how these two fi lms depict rape and rape recovery, this article argues that there is discursive potential inherent within cinema to shape our imaginations and ideals about the world. But while the fi lmmaker can construct rape representations that encourage refl ection, how the viewer decides to engage with the fi lm has bearing on whether this potential for refl ection is realised.

“…This project is mostly successful. Many rape victims report fragmentation and loss of self, detachment from their bodies, a loss of totality, and lack of motivation and a sense of direction in life(Mui, 2005).15 Few sex killers want to murder a victim in her sleep.16 In examining the motives behind necrophilic practices, it was noted that 68% of the individuals engaged in necrophilia have an unresisting and unrejecting partner (my italics). Or, we might say, to have a partner who is not conscious and can never return the threat as a "transcending-transcendence" (seeRosman & Resnick, 1989, p. 159).…”

Being and nonbeing: The existential foundations of the sadistic killer.

This article aims at a fusion of psychoanalytic theory, attachment theory, and existential phenomenology in conditions first explored by Jean-Paul Sartre and Margaret Mahler. The topic describes the genesis of the sadistic killer, when considered as a once-abused infant, and attempts a subject-oriented existential account prioritizing ontology as notionally revealing. A main contention is that the infant once confronted a fundamental existential terror threatening his own being, occasioned by an abusive mother, that transformed, via an early emotion-driven construction of an unfulfilled partial-self (a self with holes), into a destructive hatred exercised in later encounters with female individuals.
