Elle se penchera sur le mouvement #MeToo\, arguant que ce phénomène peu t êtrte envisagé comme étant une nouvelle version de la guerre des sexes\, s'inscrivant directement dans la foulée des guerres sexuelles féministes des années 1970 et 1980.\n\nLa professeure Cossman s'intéresse à la réglem entation juridique du sexe\, du genre et de la sexualité. Membre de la Soc iété royale du Canada\, elle est directrice du Bonham Centre for Sexual Di versity Studies. Elle travaille actuellement sur un livre sur #MeToo sous contrat avec la NYU Press.\n\nCette activité est admissible pour 1\,5 heur es de formation continue obligatoire tel que déclaré par les membres du Ba rreau du Québec.\n\nRésumé\n\n[En anglais seulement] How should we regulat e sexual harm? It is an issue that feminists have been debating for decade s. From the sex wars of the 1970s to the contestations about #MeToo today\ , feminists disagree about sexuality\, agency and law. The debates have lo ng run deep\, often antagonistic\, occasionally outright hostile. Well bef ore #MeToo erupted\, feminists have been embattled in renewed and contenti ous sexual politics over the regulation of sexual harm. The feminist debat e about regulating sexual harm was already in full swing.\n\nThen came #Me Too. On October 15\, 2017\, Alyssa Milano began a viral sensation with her #MeToo tweet. Within a day it had been retweeted 500\,000 times\, and wit hin days\, millions of women from 85 countries had taken to social media w ith the hashtag. In the weeks and months that followed\, powerful men – Ha rvey Weinstein\, Charlie Rose\, Matt Lauer\, to name a few of the most pro minent – lost their positions in the wake of the many stories of sexual vi olence and harassment. Broader conversations ensued about the pervasivenes s of sexual violence against women\, the meaning of consent and the role o f law.\n\nThe massive outpouring of #MeToo stories was quickly met with a range of detractors. Many decried #MeToo for going too far – although what they meant by too far differed. Some called it a sex panic\, others the e nd of flirtation\, yet others the death knell to due process. While these criticisms came from across the political spectrum\, some feminists also e xpressed discomfort and disagreement with elements of the #MeToo movement. This feminist debate was quickly framed as a generational one\, with medi a reports focusing on the conflict between millennials and second wave fem inists.\n\nI argue however that age or generation alone cannot account for the fundamental disagreements around sexuality\, agency\, consent and law that are swirling around the #MeToo movement. Rather\, I argue that these feminist #MeToo debates are better understood through the lens of Sex War s 2.0 – the continuation of the feminist sex wars of the 1970s and 1980s. \n\nConférence commémorative Patricia Allen\n\nCréée en 1992 par la promot ion de 1988 à la mémoire de Patricia Allen\, une diplômée de la Faculté qu i fut tragiquement assassinée\, la Conférence commémorative Patricia Allen est consacrée à la sensibilisation et à l'éducation de la communauté juri dique et de la population aux problèmes sociaux et juridiques urgents liés à la violence\, en particulier envers les femmes.\n DTSTART:20200123T223000Z DTEND:20200124T000000Z LOCATION:Salle du tribunal-école Maxwell-Cohen (NCDH 100)\, Chancellor Day Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1W9\, 3644 rue Peel SUMMARY:#MeToo\, Sex Wars 2.0 and the legal regulation of sexual harm URL:/law/fr/channels/event/metoo-sex-wars-20-and-legal -regulation-sexual-harm-304007 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
