 Can an Object Love?: A Philological Essay on Female Subjectivity" by Ellen Söderblom Saarela (2023)! 

In Can an Object Love?, Saarela tells the story of her sexual assault in the midst of the #metoo movement and against the backdrop of the representation of women in the western tradition– from the Symposium to Beyoncé. The book is available open access here.

All best,
