I weave together the insights of feminist phenomenology and feminist poststructuralism in order to argue that temporality produces and constrains the actuality of lived gender as racialized, heterosexist, and cissexist. More specifically, I argue that this is done through sexual violence. Ultimately, I suggest that the temporality of sexual violence is encrusted into the dominant configurations of gender and into the bodily life of gendered subjects solidifying what gendered subjectivity can become.en-USAll Rights Reserved.EmbodimentFeminist philosophyPhenomenologyQueer theorySexual violenceTemporalityElectronic Thesis or Dissertation
