Example text
Rejali’s work is useful in thinking about sexual violence in Iraq because it opens the possibility that one of the effects of sexualized violence in Iraq was similarly to create subject positions by creating a particular understanding of the relations between the US military and the Iraqi captives. Rejali’s work is helpful because the common sense of American public discourse – where Iraqis are particularly vulnerable to sexual humiliation because they are Muslims – was not, in fact, the obvious context for thinking about members of the Ba’athist Party before the war.
Self-discipline and earnest enforcement regulate activity along particular lines; far from being repressive, self-discipline means freedom from priests and kings, and creates individuals and communities ready to participate in the free market. While the disciplinary nature and even the religious roots of market-based freedom may be familiar, less commented upon is the fact that the Reformation also marked a major change in sexual relations, one that instituted a particular form of sexual freedom.

In other words, Protestant freedom is an incitement to sexuality over against the celibacy of priestly and monastic life, and it is an incitement specifically to matrimonial and reproductive sexuality.
