SEXUALITY DETAINED: THE NARRATIVES OF SEXUALITY UNDER DETENTION IN ANGELINA JOLIE’S “IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY”

Summary/Abstract: Existing scholarship has generally omitted the essential theoretical angle and interest in non-violent sex and women’s sexual power and desires in times of war have largely been ignored and excluded from the dominant narrative. The following paper uses narrative analysis based on Angelina Jolie’s “In the Land of Blood and Honey” as a source for debating these under-addressed positions and the rejection of her narrative among the general audiences and professional communities. By studying consensual sexuality under detention, the author wants to shatter the common consideration where sex in war equals rape and abuse and therefore aims to open an understanding of sexuality in war beyond those narratives.
