Turn This World Inside Out: The Emergence of Nurturance Culture

As Nora Samaran writes, ‘violence is nurturance turned backwards.’ In its place, she proposes ‘nurturance culture’ as the opposite of rape culture, suggesting that models of care and accountability - different from ‘call-outs’ rooted in the politics of guilt - can move toward dismantling systems of dominance and oppression. Includes the essays ‘The Opposite of Rape Culture Is Nurturance Culture,’ ‘On Gaslighting,’ and ‘Own, Apologize, Repair,’ as well as conversations with Serena Bhandar, Ruby Smith Diaz, Aravinda Ananda, Natalie Knight, and Alix Johnson.
