(De)Romanticising Rape Culture

Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga has been repeatedly criticized for the way it portrays the relationship between schoolgirl Bella and vampire Edward. We read an article that looks at how the saga (re)produces rape culture and a Twilight fanfic that rewrites how Bella and her father Charlie deal with an assault on Bella. How are sexual violence and the question of consensuality negotiated here? What prejudices are reproduced and how are they dealt with?
